Control character (U+1E)

About: U+1E Control character is a control character. Control characters do not have a visible glyph: they are used by text systems to manage formatting, parsing, or device control. Examples include line breaks, tabs, record separators, or legacy teleprinter commands. Because they are non‑printing, a page may show a placeholder box or nothing at all. This is expected.

Practical use: You normally do not copy a control character to paste into documents; most editors insert them with keys, menus, or programmatic escapes. If you need styled visible text, try Fancy Text. For experimentation or sharing encoded text privately, see Secret Text. Developers usually work with escape sequences (for example, in HTML, CSS, or code) rather than raw control characters.
