+				  Quoted Literals (Grammar production <a href="#grammar-production-RDFLiteral">RDFLiteral</a>) in Turtle have a lexical form followed by a language tag, a datatype IRI, or neither.
 				  The representation of the lexical form consists of a delimiting <code>"</code>, a sequence of characters matching the regular expression <code>[^\"\\\n\r]</code> or <a href="#numeric">numeric escape sequence</a> or <a href="#string">string escape sequence</a>, and a final delimiting <code>"</code>.
 				  The corresponding <a href="../rdf-concepts/index.html#dfn-lexical-form">RDF lexical form</a> is the characters between the <code>""</code>s, after processing any escape sequences.
 				  If present, the <a href="../rdf-concepts/index.html#dfn-language-tagged-string">language tag</a> is preceded by a <code>@</code>.
 				  If there is no language tag, there may be a <a href="../rdf-concepts/index.html#dfn-datatype-URI">datatype IRI</a>, preceeded by <code>^^</code>. The datatype IRI in Turtle may be written using either an <a href="#iri-summary">absolute IRI, a relative IRI or prefixed name</a>. If there is no datatype IRI and no language tag, the datatype is <code>xsd:string</code>.
