Question: I want to split a string into an array of letters, but I have a problem with the special character `\` .

The code:

```js
let s = '\op*Bw'.split('');

```

But I got this result `['o', 'p', '*', 'B', 'w']`, that is not correct because I want the `\` character too in the array.

Answer: 
Backslashes '\' escape the next character in the sequence. If you need the '\' in the string, your string will need to look like '\\op\*Bw'

```js
let s = '\\op*Bw'.split('');
console.log(s) // ['\', 'o', 'p', '*', 'B', 'w']

```
You can also use `String.raw`

```
String.raw`\op*Bw`.split('')

```
