-Answer:
+## \-\-- Part Two \-\-- {#part2}
+
+Now, let\'s go the other way. In addition to finding the number of
+characters of code, you should now *encode each code representation as a
+new string* and find the number of characters of the new encoded
+representation, including the surrounding double quotes.
+
+For example:
+
+-   `""` encodes to `"\"\""`, an increase from `2` characters to `6`.
+-   `"abc"` encodes to `"\"abc\""`, an increase from `5` characters to
+    `9`.
+-   `"aaa\"aaa"` encodes to `"\"aaa\\\"aaa\""`, an increase from `10`
+    characters to `16`.
+-   `"\x27"` encodes to `"\"\\x27\""`, an increase from `6` characters
+    to `11`.
+
+Your task is to find *the total number of characters to represent the
+newly encoded strings* minus *the number of characters of code in each
+original string literal*. For example, for the strings above, the total
+encoded length (`6 + 9 + 16 + 11 = 42`) minus the characters in the
+original code representation (`23`, just like in the first part of this
+puzzle) is `42 - 23 = 19`.
