Escape Character causing issue in fetching user info

I'm trying to fetch member info using the globalName of users but if a globalName contains a escape character it fails to fetch the info.

[ 'GMDMCD', 'Adi\\_918' ]

[ 'GMDMCD', 'Adi\\_918' ]

let user = client.users.cache.find(user => user.globalName == racers[0]);

let user = client.users.cache.find(user => user.globalName == racers[0]);

for the first name this code is able to fetch member info but fails for second one.

1.- you arent fetching anything 2.- you cant fetch by name You cant get a user by their name unless its cached (the bot received an event regarding that user)
