sure. all of these and post("\"); produce the same ASCII character 92, which is double-escaped by Pd to produce the literal r'\' (double backslash).
verbatim string escaping like post(@""");
don't compile (error: stray ‘@’ in program)
because this is C# syntax, not C (or C++).
but again: your problem is not how to enter the backslash, but to print it (which is controlled by Pd, which will escape your backslash). see it as a bug if you want to (although it's really just that backslashes are *unsupported* by Pd).
if you can live with a similar glyph, try "\u29f5" or "\u29f9" (non of which will give you a *real* backslash, but something that looks somewhat similar)
