In Gleam Strings are written as text surrounded by double quotes, and can span multiple lines and contain unicode characters.
The <> operator can be used to concatenate strings.
Several escape sequences are supported:
\" - double quote\\ - backslash\f - form feed\n - newline\r - carriage return\t - tab\u{xxxxxx} - unicode codepoint
The gleam/string
standard library module contains functions for working with strings.
