Strings

In Gleam strings are written as text surrounded by double quotes, and can span multiple lines and contain unicode characters.

The <> operator can be used to concatenate strings.

Several escape sequences are supported:

• \" - double quote
• \\ - backslash
• \f - form feed
• \n - newline
• \r - carriage return
• \t - tab
• \u{xxxxxx} - unicode codepoint

The gleam/string standard library module contains functions for working with strings.
