DescriptionThe Unicode character ␞, or U+241E, is known as the "Symbol for Record Separator". It belongs to the "Control Pictures" block and falls under the "Symbol, Other" category in the Unicode standard. This character serves as a visual representation of the control character known as the "record separator". In computing, control characters are non-printable characters used to control various functions within systems, devices, and software. The record separator control character is used to indicate the end of a data record. Since control characters are non-printable, the "Symbol for Record Separator" is used to provide a visible representation when it's necessary to display or print the character, such as in documentation or in certain debugging contexts. The specific appearance of this symbol is akin to the letters "RS" inside a rectangular box, although its visual representation can slightly differ based on the font and typography used.
