     What are Special characters?

Extraordinary characters are images (single characters or groupings of characters) that have a "unique" implicit significance in the language and regularly can't be utilized as a part of identifiers.

     What is escape character?
In computing and telecommunication, an escape character is a character which summons an option understanding on ensuing characters in a character succession. An escape character is a specific instance of metacharacters. For the most part, the judgment of in the case of something is an escape character or not relies upon setting.

Escape characters are a piece of the punctuation for some programming dialects, information configurations, and correspondence conventions. For a given letters in order, an escape character's motivation is to begin character successions (so named escape sequence), which must be deciphered uniquely in contrast to similar characters happening without the prefixed escape character. An escape character might not have its own particular significance, so all escape groupings are at least two characters.



There are typically two elements of escape arrangements. The first is to encode a syntactic element, for example, gadget summons or extraordinary information, which can't be straightforwardly spoken to by the letter set. The second utilizes, alluded to as character citing, is to speak to characters, which can't be written in the present setting, or would have an undesired understanding. In the last case, an escape grouping is a digraph comprising of an escape character itself and a "cited" character.

What is Control character?
By and large, an escape character is not a specific instance of (device) control characters, nor the other way around. In the event that we characterize control characters as non-realistic, or as having an extraordinary importance for a yield gadget (e.g. printer or content terminal) at that point any escape character for this gadget is a control one. In any case, escape characters utilized as a part of programming, (for example, the oblique punctuation line, "\") are realistic, henceforth are not control characters. Then again most (in any case, not all) of the ASCII "control characters" have some control work in disengagement, in this manner are not escape characters. 

In many programming dialects, an escape character likewise shapes some escape successions which are alluded to control characters. For instance, line break has an escape arrangement of \n. 
Escape groupings are strategies that the dialect uses to expel the unique significance from the image, empowering it to be utilized as an ordinary character, or succession of characters when this should be possible.
