Set \ as string in JavaScript

Question

How do I set a \ as a string in JavaScript I am using it like this

Var x = {"\":"some value"}

But it's says that that is illegal, so then I tried it like '\' this but still the same error happened.

Escaping a backslash `\\` is useful but it's generally bad practice to name an object property that. — Jack Guy, Aug 12 '15 at 03:40

You can use escaping characters so add one more \ it will be escaped and become a string like this var x = {"\\":"some value"}

Just add an other slash '\' before it.
