Morphology

unescaped = escaped (transparent) = un + escape + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'escaped', making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

The word unescaped is made of un- meaning 'not' and escape meaning 'to get away' or 'slip out', like someone slipping out of a cloak. In computing, an unescaped character is one that has not been changed into a 'safe' form, so it still has its special meaning.
