Subject: double quotes in postgres string

How do I put double quotes in a postgres string?
I tried to precede them with a backslash but that did not work:
* create test(a=char16)\g

Query sent to backend is "create test(a=char16)"
CREATE
Go 
* append test(a="\"")\g
unknown escape given

Go 
* 
Query sent to backend is "append test(a="")"
APPEND 48924
Go
