You understand wrongly.
Triple quotes are no different to any other kind
of quote except that they can span lines. If you want
to print all the characters (with any kind of quote)
you must precede the quotes with r, for raw.
>>> print ("""A string with \t in it""")
A string with in it
>>> print (r"""A string with \t in it""")
A string with \t in it
>>>
And a raw string literal cannot easily have a backslash as the final
character. Sometimes it's good enough to just add a space at the end of
a raw string.
