Comment:

 In [changeset:"36622"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="36622"
 Customize: Prevent dropping backslashes from input on general settings and
 settings for nav menus and some widgets.

 Ensures that intentional backslashes (e.g. "\o/") can be used in:

 * Site title
 * Site description
 * Nav menu name
 * Custom Menu widget title
 * Tag Cloud widget title
 * Text widget body if can't `unfiltered_html`

 The latter three are also fixed on the widgets admin page.

 Fixes #35898.
