For adding some more information  your example will work without the   symbol  it prevents escaping with     this way   string foo    this   word   is escaped      It will work both ways but I prefer the double-quote style for it to be easier working  for example  with filenames  with lots of   in the string

There is a proposal open in GitHub for the C  language about having better support for raw string literals  One valid answer  is to encourage the C  team to add a new feature to the language  such as triple quote - like Python   see https   github com dotnet csharplang discussions 89 discussioncomment-257343
