Mostly they’re to stay in context. Like ways of -actually- saying ‘full stop’ in telegrams or ‘roger’ in radio comms.
Programming question: are escape sequences/characters always from an inner to an outer context? (eg code to data, ide to shell...)

In Ruby, you can interpolate like this: "some text #{variable} and more text" and whatever is between the braces is standard Ruby code.

But many escape characters are to insert things that are legal in the inner context, but illegal given the combined inner/outer context.

Lots of templating schemes and the like (ef JSX in React) escape/embed code into data. PHP too. code can them have escaped data with regex.
