As per our docs: 'If you wish to use any of the meta-characters ( such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\\]^`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \\\\'. Please see below for a jsFiddle using + in a selector working fine using two backslashes: http://jsfiddle.net/6BdDZ/
