U+0093 "STS" SET TRANSMIT STATE Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
STS
U+0093 "STS" SET TRANSMIT STATE is a control character defined in the C1 control code set, originally used in telecommunication and data transmission protocols to indicate that a device should prepare to enter a transmit state, often as part of a handshaking sequence. It is not intended for visible text or human-readable content, but rather functions as a low-level command within legacy systems, such as those following the ISO 6429 standard for terminal control. In modern computing, its usage is largely obsolete and rarely employed outside of specialized emulation or historical data processing contexts.
