Do we need to move this check to line 490 instead because we need to make sure that quotes are properly escaped. Can you add the following test
r'It\'s normalizing \' and " quotes'
This should be formatted as:

@MichaReiser
r'It\'s normalizing \' and " quotes'
is not equivalent tor"It's normalizing ' and \" quotes"

Okay, I now played with your PR and found an example that produces invalid syntax:
Note how Ruff changes the quotes from
'
to"
but fails to escape the"
.We need to play a bit more with black to understand how black determines the preferred quotes for raw strings, and how the normalization has to work. Maybe @konstin knows more, because I'm not that familiar with Python and I must say, the escaping logic behind raw strings is confusing to me (you have to escape quotes)

Thanks for the investigation. I'm reading black's source code. It looks like black returns the original string if it contains unescaped opposite quotes:

tbh i find python's raw string escaping rules confusing and i think there are cases that are just not properly representable (as the case above where black returns)
