In Scala 2 there is no straightforward way to represent a single quote character `"` in a single quoted interpolation. A `\` character can't be used for that because interpolators themselves decide how to handle escaping, so the parser doesn't know whether the `"` character should be escaped or used as a terminator.

A `\` character can't be used for that because interpolators themselves decide how to handle escaping, so the parser doesn't know whether the `"` character should be escaped or used as a terminator.

In Scala 3, we can use the `$` meta character of interpolations to escape a `"` character. Example:
