U+0099 "SGC" Latin-1 Supplement Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0099 "SGC" Latin-1 Supplement is a legacy control code originally defined as the "Single Graphic Character Introducer" within the C1 control character set for 8-bit data transmission, specifically intended in older terminal and communication protocols to signal that the following character should be interpreted as a graphical symbol rather than a control function. It falls within the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement block, where positions U+0080 through U+009F are reserved for control codes, not intended for general public display or text content. In modern contexts, this character is considered obsolete and is typically ignored or treated as a non-printing control character, as it does not represent a visible glyph or letter. Its practical use is largely historical, pertaining to early text transmission standards such as ISO 2022 and ECMA-48, and modern systems often convert or discard it to avoid rendering issues.
