In Java I can print terminal control chars like System.out.print("\033[100D"). Kotlin does not like \033, how do I do that?

\\033

\0 is an illegal escape. either escape the escape character as demonstrated above, or use a literal string

"""\033"""

\\ gives me a literal \. \u001b does what I want.

Oh, I get it. In Java, \0... means octal. Kotlin doesn't do that.
