title: Neo4j how to handle special characters like ” \ in Cypher statements
body: <p>I am using py2neo to load JSON data into Neo4j as chyper statements. 
  My problem is that sometimes there are signs as <code>“ ‘  \</code> etc in the strings I want to import as properties to Nodes:</p>
  
  <p><code>MERGE (p:Node {name:’This  sign ‘ gives  error’})</code></p>
  
  <p>If I change to:</p>
  
  <p><code>MERGE (p:Node {name:” This  sign ‘ gives  error”})</code></p>
  
  <p>It will work for the statement over but it will fail when a <code>“</code> is in an input string. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to say that all (or almost all) special character is allowed inside the string?
  Sorry if this is a stupid question :)</p>
