Argh, read the wrong line. Thanks for the correction. Still:

test=# select version();
                                       version

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  PostgreSQL 10.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (SUSE Linux)
4.8.5, 64-bit
(1 row)


test=# select 'abcd'||chr(8198) ~ E'abcd\s';
  ?column?
----------
  f
(1 row)
 
When using E-syntax you need to double the backslash for escaping:
 
andreak@[local]:5433 10.4 andreak=# select 'abcd'||chr(8198) ~ E'abcd\\s';
┌──────────┐
│ ?column? │
├──────────┤
│ t        │
└──────────┘
(1 row)
