How safe print byte in zig?
Lets say I have byte \n, I don't print new line. I want to print \n.
usually encode string as json and print but I find that too much for printing a single byte.

to print \n (backward slash, lowercase n), print the string "\\n"

to print `\n` (backward slash, lowercase n), print the string `"\\n"`
\n is just just an example, I have an array of bytes and i don't know which byte I'm gonna print.
probably would make sense to print the byte as number but it's for a cool visualization I'm working on. just want to figure out to safe print.

Thanks. not exactly what I wanted but this works as well.
I'm built huffman compression code a while and I wanted a better visualization.
