The parser uses
rc = sscanf(s, "%u " /* (1) id */
"%u " /* (2) parent */
"%u:%u " /* (3) maj:min */
"%ms " /* (4) mountroot */
"%ms " /* (5) target */
"%ms" /* (6) vfs options (fs-independent) */
"%*[^-]" /* (7) optional fields */
"- " /* (8) separator */
"%ms " /* (9) FS type */
"%ms " /* (10) source */
"%ms", /* (11) fs options (fs specific) */
note that almost the same code is in systemd.

It calls unmangle_string() for all fields, so all sequences should be
decoded.
