[Tex/LaTex] How to print escape characters in LaTeX?

symbols

How can I print \n, \t, \v and so on in LaTeX document? I mean I want in my output two chars: \n not a new line.

I tried:

\\n
\verb!\\n!

With no effects…

Use the first version.
Both the I and II version show other ways which are unnecessary complex (and exploit certain TeXnicalities).

Code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\newcommand*{\escape}[1]{\texttt{\textbackslash#1}}
\newcommand*{\escapeI}[1]{\texttt{\expandafter\string\csname #1\endcsname}}
\newcommand*{\escapeII}[1]{\texttt{\char`\\#1}}
\begin{document}
    We escape \escape{n}, \escape{t} and \escape{v}.

    We escape \escapeI{n}, \escapeI{t} and \escapeI{v}.

    We escape \escapeII{n}, \escapeII{t} and \escapeII{v}.

    We escape \verb!\n!, \verb!\t! and \verb!\v!
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to print sigma symbol

I don't recognise the image as a sigma. Unicode has three variant lowercase sigmas

U+03c2 GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA
U+03c3 GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA
U+03f2 GREEK LUNATE SIGMA SYMBOL

which look like

ςσϲ

or as an image

If you are convinced you want the letter shape you drew just save it as a png or (better if you can) a scalable format such as pdf, then you can do

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx,amsmath}

\newcommand\bentpaperclip{\includegraphics[height=1ex]{bentpaperclip.png}}

\begin{document}

\[\sigma \neq \varsigma \neq \bentpaperclip\]

\end{document}

! is at position hex 21 so you can use ^^21 which will make a ! token just as if a ! had been in the input.
