U+0092 "PU2" PRIVATE USE TWO Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

PU2

U+0092 "PU2" PRIVATE USE TWO is a control character designated for private or custom use within the Unicode standard, specifically allocated in the C1 control character range normally interpreted as a control code in text processing systems rather than a visible glyph. It has no fixed meaning or graphical representation, as its purpose is to be assigned an application specific function by software vendors, operating systems, or users, often for proprietary formatting, encoding, or communication protocols. In common practice, particularly in legacy Windows code pages like Windows 1252, U+0092 is frequently misinterpreted or incorrectly mapped to the typographic apostrophe (’ or U+2019) due to historical encoding errors, though strictly it remains a private use character without universal definition.
