It is a backlash which interpretes the next line after the \ as if it has not reached the end of the line

It's a Backslash "\". "The backslash (\) is an escape character that instructs the shell not to interpret the next character. If the next character is a newline, the shell will read the statement as not having reached its end. This allows a statement to span multiple lines." https://www.baeldung.com/linux/run-multi-line-shell-code
