          Yup, then it becomes a front-end problem to deal with wonky input. As a backend dev, this is ideal, just give me data and I’ll store it for ya.

        Input sanitization typically handles this as a string that only allows characters supported by the data type specified by the table field in question. A permissive strategy might scrub the string of unexpected characters. A strict one might throw an error. The point, however, is to prevent the evaluation of inputs as anything other than their intended type, whether or not reserved characters are present.
