Challenge: Basic JavaScript - Escaping Literal Quotes in Strings

Link to the challenge:

i think the original line was a const not a var.
Try returning it back to const.

Edit: actually, when I copy your code, it doesn’t work even if I change the var to a const.
But when I copy the text from the exercise and put the exact same backslashes, it works.
I think you may have an encoding problem.
Can you make sure to use a English United States language setting on your computer to type the characters?

Hi! Thank you so much for your help! I followed your advice and copied the sentence from the text and it worked out! The problem is connected with the font as you said)
