Do i have to escape the parenthesis in the tokenizer?

[TeKett]

Im using my own tokens i added to the tokenizer. When using parenthesis, i understand i have to escape them in the caption and the prompt, but should i also escape them in the tokenizer? As in should it be character_(source) or character_\(source\)? Is the escape removed when it compares the prompt with the tokenizer? And so, if i where do add the escape to the tokenizer, i would have to write in the prompt character_\\\(source\\\)?
