+ Literals 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>.
