Escaping the '[' bracket in a JSON string without there being another ']'

I am trying to map a custom shortcut to VS code that will paste the following string (which clears the console), using the multi_command tool:

"command": "multiCommand.clearConsole",
    "sequence": [
        {
            "command": "type",
            "args": {
              "text": "print("\\033\[2J)
            }
          }
    ]

I have used a double backslash to escape the first backslash, but I need a way of escaping the '[' open bracket.

Does anyone know if it's possible? or an easier way to do it? I just want to clear the console which is hosted on an external device (interacting via PyCOM Console) and interacts via python command line.

Cheers!
