It's a coding term. The [ ] characters are interpreted. They are used to mark tags in this forum software. Pete wants to know what the escape character is so that the forum software doesn't interpret the bracket but instead prints it, in the quote tag. Just try quoting something from [wcip]Angel and hitting preview and you'll probably see why.
I believe it's called an escape character because you are escaping the interpreter when you use it. I know my perl print statements get loaded with \ so that it won't parse certain symbols and just print them.
