If you don't know about them, I just recently learned about them in my computer science class. I was wondering if anybody knew all of the escape characters that work on roblox.

So far I know \t and \n work, but I noticed \b, \r, and \f don't work. Are there any others that do?

From the Lua Manual:

'\a' (bell), '\b' (backspace), '\f' (form feed), '\n' (newline), '\r' (carriage return), '\t' (horizontal tab), '\v' (vertical tab), '\\' (backslash), '\"' (quotation mark [double quote]), and '\'' (apostrophe [single quote]).
