invalid escape sequence error when opening micro under root on Debian

Description

Whenever I go to open up Micro from the command line simply by typing micro, I get an escape sequence error but only when logged in as root

main line:26(column:33) near '\.':   Invalid escape sequence


Press enter to continue

Unfortunately I don't have much more information right now than the error that it gives me immediately upon hitting Enter after typing in micro. Once I hit Enter to continue, it opens up the text editor and I can use it as normal. Let me know of any information, logs, or whatever I can gather to help pinpoint what's going on here

Environment

• Version: 2.0.14
• OS: Debian 13
• Terminal: ssh in through Termux
