More like "sometimes one character and sometimes a compilation error".

What is rather nice though is the notion that \ _always_ acts as an escape character, regardless of what character follows it. If this was not the case, \x would sometimes be one character and sometimes two, depending on what x is. The way it is now is more consistent.
