The char literal 'a' consists of the numeric equivalent of the character 'a', which is one character, which itself does not include apostrophes. The literal is the 16-bit item in memory, not the source code representation thereof. Just like the numeral "1" is not the number 1, but a representation thereof, the source-code representation is not the character itself. So no, the character 'a' does not consist of the three characters '\'', 'a', and '\''.
