Dick, String literals (constants) are things that appear in source code. The continuation of a string literal on a succeeding line of source code is a property of the compiler/translator, not the runtime system functions. So no, read() and other built-ins do not do this, but if you needed input processing of text that looks like Unicon source code, you could link in the Unicon lexical analyzer itself into your program, and it would process your input exactly how Unicon does, multiline literals and all.

I noticed that read() does not support this convention. Are there any built-in functions that support this convention?
