I would like to know what all the backslash commands are when printing something in Java. I think \b is backspace. I think \n is next line. I don't know any others and would like to more.

    Does this answer your question? [What are all the escape characters?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1367322/what-are-all-the-escape-characters) – D M Dec 23 '19 at 03:14
  • These are all documented in the Java Language Specification. Any answer you get on the Internet, including here, can only be as good as the JLS, and you run the risk of it being a great deal worse. For example, the answer below here is incomplete. Don't ask questions about things you can look up for yourself. – user207421 Dec 23 '19 at 06:27
