Char Type in Rust

Instructor: [00:00] A character type or a char is a single Unicode character as a 32-bit value. They're created using single quotes. Here we see a couple of examples. Char1 is a character, '1'. Char2 is a character, 'a'. We can use any character Unicode that we like. Even emojis work, as we can see here.

[00:22] Some characters have special meanings, so they need to be escaped using a . Here we see a \ escaping a , or a \ escaping a single quote. The same goes for a new line, a carriage return, and so on and so forth.

[00:38] To see that this is working, we can, for example, create a new command here and say println!("{:?}" , "some more text"). Then we can give it, for example, char4 and run the program. We'll see, it'll output a backslash plus some text.
