A simple table elaborating on
the escapes for each special character would be incredibly helpful at
determining how to translate those escapes for cleaning strings prior to
insertion so those of us using postgresql can quickly write cleaning
functions for data.

Translating escapes and writing cleaning functions should be a rare need unless you are writing driver-level code.  Applications should avoid caring about either by avoiding dynamic sql altogether or using quote_* functions or the format function.
