Use single-quotes for escaping instead of back-slashes? #21

Closed ericf closed 5 years ago

ericf commented 9 years ago

The ICU Message syntax uses single-quotes for escaping, we probably want to do the same. http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages#TOC-Quoting-Escaping

Java Docs give this guidance:

Recommendation: Use the real apostrophe (single quote) character ’ for human-readable text, and use the ASCII apostrophe (' ' ) only in program syntax, like quoting in MessageFormat. See the annotations for U+0027 Apostrophe in The Unicode Standard.
