Hi,

Note C supports \123 for octal and \x123 for hex.
python uses \u1234 for unicode codepoints.

that works for control characters (and sort of what we have now) but
not for escape sequences. There's not unicode codepoint for "user hit
the up arrow key"
I don't really think it should be inline with the user's typed keys,
honestly. We should filter it out at the plymouth daemon level, and
send it to the plugin out-of-band using a different call back.
