=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEscapedCharacters - Write C<"\N{DELETE}"> instead of C<"\x7F">, etc.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Escaped numeric values are hard to read and debug.  Instead, use named
values.  The syntax is less compact, but dramatically more readable.

    $str = "\x7F\x06\x22Z";                         # not ok

    use charnames ':full';
    $str = "\N{DELETE}\N{ACKNOWLEDGE}\N{CANCEL}Z";  # ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
