22.1.3.4 Printing Strings

The characters of the string are output in order. If printer escaping is enabled, a double-quote is output before and after, and all double-quotes and single escapes are preceded by backslash. The printing of strings is not affected by *print-array*. Only the active elements of the string are printed.

For information on how the Lisp reader parses strings, see Section 2.4.5 (Double-Quote).
