Character Entities used in XAML
Generally speaking, uses the same character entities and escaping defined in XML. These will not be repeated in this topic.
A backslash (\) does not need to be escaped when handled as a string.
A curly brace ({ or } character) is escaped by a different mechanism. For details, see {} Escape Sequence / Markup Extension.
