If you're trying to write a bytea[] literal, I think the most reliable
way to write the individual bytes is
	\\\\nnn
where nnn is *octal*.  The idea here is:
	* string literal parser takes off one level of backslashing,
	  leaving \\nnn
	* array input parser takes off another level, leaving \nnn
	* bytea input parser knows about backslashed octal values

Note it has to be 3 octal digits every time, no abbreviations.
