I know some of the escape characters in Java, e.g.

\n : Newline
\r : Carriage return
\t : Tab
\\ : Backslash
...

Is there a complete list somewhere?

Well additionally, older versions of Java supported \v for form feed.

From: java/util/regex/Pattern.java:

2600         case 'v':
2601             // '\v' was implemented as VT/0x0B in releases < 1.8 (though
2602             // undocumented). In JDK8 '\v' is specified as a predefined
2603             // character class for all vertical whitespace characters.
2604             // So [-1, root=VertWS node] pair is returned (instead of a
2605             // single 0x0B). This breaks the range if '\v' is used as
2606             // the start or end value, such as [\v-...] or [...-\v], in
2607             // which a single definite value (0x0B) is expected. For
2608             // compatibility concern '\013'/0x0B is returned if
