Additional Information
This is the expected behavior and a result of how Python implements strings. '\575' is correctly interpreted as a Ž character. If the actual string \575 is desired, use a raw string (Refer to https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html). Return r'\575' instead of \575.Workaround
For number combinations resulting in special characters, place any letter between the \ and the first digit.
For example: \t575 or \k563
This results in a normal output.
