Does Packer supports escape characters in JSON?

[drj]

I am working on building an image using the vpshere-iso builder unfortunately some of the naming conventions in our vsphere env are using 

spaces in our esources names created, for e.g. the datastore name is called the below highlighted in yellow. I don't have the admin rights to go in the env to rename that datastore to a name w/ out the spaces.... is there a workaround by adding some escape characters in the following below? 

"datastore": "dev-test (1)"
