Print "open curly bracket" with lua

Question

I'm new to lua and I'm trying to print an open curly bracket { in the output screen. I tried these ones:

print "%{"

print "\u123"

print "{{"

And there was no luck, but if I try the close bracket there's no problem and it prints }.

I'm wondering how may I figure it out.

Is there some reason you didn't expect `print "{"` to work? *Does* it work for you? — Keith Thompson, Dec 01 '17 at 00:09

print "{" Should do the job.

@lhf already sugested.

Yes it should work but I find out the reason was somewhere else in the code. A `grep -v "{"` were existed and caused this. – ImAn Dec 01 '17 at 08:57
