That matches letter-for-letter what I got. I'm pretty confident that
the results of parsing will match as there are other tests for all of
the individual featues exhibited in the syntax tests I sent:

<s> <p> ''' ''\' ''' . # long string with single quotes, embedded ''s and \'
  LITERAL_LONG1.ttl:
  <http://a.example/s> <http://a.example/p> '''x''' .
  LITERAL_LONG1_with_2_squotes.ttl:
  <http://a.example/s> <http://a.example/p> '''x''y''' .
  literal_with_REVERSE_SOLIDUS.ttl:
  <http://a.example/s> <http://a.example/p> '\\' .

<s> <p> """ ""\" """ . # long string with double quotes, embedded ""s and \"
  LITERAL_LONG2.ttl:
  <http://a.example/s> <http://a.example/p> """x""" .
  LITERAL_LONG2_with_2_squotes.ttl:1:<http://a.example/s> <http://a.example/p> """x""y""" .
  turtle-subm-21.ttl:
  :a :b """John said: "Hello World!\"""" .
  
<s> <p> """ ""\u0061 """ . # long string with \uHHHH
  turtle-subm-16.ttl:
  :a :b """\nthis \ris a \U00012451long\t
  literal\uABCD
  """ .

These two are the same as tests 2 and 3 but without the spaces:
  
<s> <p> """""\"""" .
  
<s> <p> """""\u0061""" .

The only new feature these should be testing is the sequence of two
quote characters and a backslash within a long string.
