<p>
  In Gleam strings are written as text surrounded by double quotes, and
  can span multiple lines and contain unicode characters.
</p>
<p>
  The <code>&lt;&gt;</code> operator can be used to concatenate strings.
</p>
<p>
  Several escape sequences are supported:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>\"</code> - double quote</li>
  <li><code>\\</code> - backslash</li>
  <li><code>\f</code> - form feed</li>
  <li><code>\n</code> - newline</li>
  <li><code>\r</code> - carriage return</li>
  <li><code>\t</code> - tab</li>
  <li><code>\u{xxxxxx}</code> - unicode codepoint</li>
</ul>
<p>
