+## Escaping
+
+The following characters have special significance in glob patterns and must be escaped if you want them to be treated as regular path characters:
 
+- `?` (question mark)
+- `*` (star)
+- `[` (opening bracket)
+- `]` (closing bracket)
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+globParent('foo/[bar]/') // 'foo'
+globParent('foo/\\[bar]/') // 'foo/\\[bar]'
 ```
