For single and double quotes you don't need the slash at all. Since they're
string resources, embedded quotes don't need to be escaped (the escapes are
implied because the open/close quotes are also implied).

The square and cubic symbols can be inserted directly into any string
resource:

The square symbol is ALT+0178
The cubic symbol is ALT+0179

NOTE: Ensure the document's typeface actually supports these characters and
prevent the user from changing the typeface to one that does not. If you
must employ user-defined fonts, consider using an otherwise unused token in
place of the escaped character. When you encounter the token, determine its
coordinates within the string, replace it with a space, then overlay the
appropriate character using an appropriate typeface at the established
coordinates. You could also use a standard numeric character with a smaller
font size if you prefer -- particularly useful when dealing with powers
other than 2 or 3. A better alternative would be to use a fixed-font that
actively supports the required mathematical representations you need.
