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

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
