i have some code, that looks like this:

print("something \"something\" something else")

but when i compile i get this error:

Compiling init.wu

wrong: bumped into weird character
     --> ./init.wu
      │
    1 │ print("something \"something\" something else")
      │                             ^
  Finished things in 0ms

how can i fix the code?

Weird, that should have worked, I think the delimiter escape might be broken. You can try using ' delimited strings instead, like 'something "something" something else'
' delimited strings aren't a thing, sorry, I'll try and see why this is broken

I have pushed a fix for it, the escapes were indeed broken, it should work if you try now
