String

A string is a sequence of characters encoded in UTF-16. In MoonBit, strings are immutable, which means you cannot change the elements inside a string.

MoonBit supports C-style escape characters in strings and chars, such as \n (newline), \t (tab), \\ (backslash), \" (double-quote), and \' (single-quote).

Unicode escape characters are also supported. You can use \u{...} (where ... represents the Unicode character's hex code) to represent a Unicode character by its code point.

MoonBit also supports string interpolation written like \{variable}, which allows you to embed expressions into strings.
