I'm want to add \ to a string in R like this:
paste("23", "\%", sep = "")
Such that the string reads: "23\%"
But I get the error: Error: '\%' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting ""\%"
Any idea on to correct this?
Thank you!

Yes, but it prints as "23\\%", not "23\%" I need to copy and paste it into another document. – Sharif Amlani Jun 14 '21 at 01:31

Use `cat` instead of `print`. – Aaron left Stack Overflow Jul 13 '21 at 11:33
