Currently ', " and \ are escaped as \', \" and \\ respectively. This leads to confusing messages such as `error: unknown start of token: \\` when encountering a single backslash. Fix by emitting printable ASCII characters directly. This will still escape \r, \n, \t and Unicode characters. Fixes #47902
