Escape sequence
In computer science, an escape sequence is a combination of characters that has a meaning other than the literal characters contained therein; it is marked by one or more preceding (and possibly terminating) characters.
escape sequence
<character> (Or "escape code") A series of characters starting
with the escape character (ASCII 27). Escape sequences are
often used to control display devices such as VDUs. An
escape sequence might change the colour of subsequent text,
reassign keys on the keyboard, change printer settings or
reposition the cursor. The escape sequences of the DEC
vt100 video terminal have become a de facto standard for
this purpose.
The term is also used for any sequence of characters that
temporarily suspends normal processing of a stream of
characters to perform some special function. For example, the
Hayes modem uses the sequence "+++" to escape to command
mode in which characters are interpreted as commands to the
modem itself rather than as data to pass through.

RAPID SERIES OF MOVEMENTS PERFORMED BY AN ANIMAL IN RESPONSE TO POSSIBLE PREDATION

Escape response, escape reaction, or escape behavior is a mechanism by which animals avoid potential predation. It consists of a rapid sequence of movements, or lack of movement, that position the animal in such a way that allows it to hide, freeze, or flee from the supposed predator.
