# E0060: invalid hex escape sequence

String literals and template literals can contain escape sequences, including `\x` followed by two hexadecimal digits. It is an error for `\x` to be followed by anything except two hexadecimal digits:

    let gameTitle = isBlue
      ? 'Pok\xmon Blue'
      : 'Pok\xe9mon Red';

    let path = 'c:\xampp\bin\apache.exe';

To fix this error, complete the sequence by writing two hexadecimal digits:

    let gameTitle = isBlue
      ? 'Pok\xe9mon Blue'
      : 'Pok\xe9mon Red';

Alternatively, escape `\` with an extra `\`:

    let path = 'c:\\xampp\\bin\\apache.exe';

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
