escape character in python

#You will get an error if you use double quotes inside a string 
#that is surrounded by double quotes:

txt = "We are the so-called "Vikings" from the north."

#To fix this problem, use the escape character ":
txt = "We are the so-called "Vikings" from the north."

#Output: We are the so-called "Vikings" from the north.

what are the escape characters in python

Please thank, like, use in you code and improve!!!
#Enclosing quotes with qoutes of the same kind terminates the string prematurely.
#Hence, escape such errors using the escape character(backslash).
word = ""I am a boy", he said."# Terminates the string prematurely.
#Outputs , he said.
word = ""I am a boy", he said"
print(word)# Outputs "I am a boy, he said.
Types of escape characters:
  
 - newline		 - tab spacing	
 - carriage return	
   creates a backslash since one backslash is used to escape
#However using different quotes does no damage to the code.
word = '"I am a boy", he said.'
#Outputs "I am a boy", he said.
