How to print a double quote symbol in Red language

How can I print a double quote symbol ("). I tried different methods mentioned on http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-print-a-variable-with-in-double-quotes-td905186.html but they do not work:

print "\""
print as.character(x)  ; x should come in quotes
print dQuote(x)

How can this be done?

There are two string formats... {This is a string} and "This is too". Escaping is done with a caret, ^.

If you use the braces you worry less about escaping. You can use single quotes, double quotes, and even braces if they are matched naturally. {This is {a valid} string}.

So you can say print {"} or if you insist print "^"". The former is usually preferable.
