We need to see some code; it's impossible to guess what you are doing.

Wrong approach: instead of skipping of the escape character, find out why the application is hanging and fix the root cause of it, which certainly is not directly related with this character. Use the debugger. But when you do it, sanitize all data before showing it in the control. I have no idea why it could possibly cause any coding problem. Perhaps you would need to show your code sample and explain what is your concern. But do it only when you figure out the root cause of the problem.
