Yep obviously because a backslash is mainly used for escaping

its a standard escape sequence, so its in pretty much every good programming language that supports strings.

The \ is escaping the n. Escape characters aren't shown, because they're used for escaping. For example, “\(” escapes the (, rendering as “(” instead of the start of a reporter with a backslash before it.
In JavaScript/Python/probably more languages, “a” isn't a special escape character, so the same thing works:

>>> "\a"
'a'

…and you lose the backslash

In the preview there is a yellow cap block with a text input with “/scratchblocks” in it

say [scratchblocks]
[/scratchblocks]
