I'm still interested in the escape code.

I don't think there is one.

I'm still not sure I understand what you mean by escape code. Is it like Alt+091, and Alt+093? Or something like &GT and &LT?

An escape code is simply a character (or string of characters), which when parsed get interpreted as saying 'do something special with the following text.'

For example, a forum that uses an XHTML based markup might have <code></code> tags. But let's say you were trying to tell someone what the code tags were. If you simply typed in the tags as is, they'll get converted, and not show up. To allow for this, good forum software will have an escape code (aka escape sequence) which tells the parser not to convert the following tag. The most common escape code is \, or ^. So for the above example, you'd write something like \<code>blah blah</code> which would result in <code>blah blah</code> being displayed.
