 I have some randomly generated strings I&amp;#39;d like to use as the values for my Kconfig string options but Kconfig doesn&amp;#39;t seem to like these as they contain characters like &amp;quot;]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;)&amp;quot;. Is there a way I could somehow escape these characters or use</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 15 Oct 2021 07:53:07 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/80688/allowed-characters-in-kconfig-string-options" /><item><title>RE: Allowed characters in Kconfig string options</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/334273?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Oct 2021 07:53:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ec9092d3-8573-47f3-9596-99ef9ae890bd</guid><dc:creator>Sigurd Hellesvik</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Riku&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not have any such list of characters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The KConfig options are at some point passed trough the C preprocessor, which might be the reason for the errors you experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have not been able to find any way to escape these properly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The easiest method here is most likely for you to test different characters, and not use the ones that does not work.&lt;/p&gt;
