U+2029 "
" Paragraph Separator Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2029 "
" Paragraph Separator is a control character used to explicitly mark the end of one paragraph and the beginning of another in digital text, functioning as a structural delimiter distinct from the line break represented by U+2028. Unlike the common newline character or a carriage return, which typically indicate a line break within the same paragraph, U+2029 signifies a stronger division in the logical organization of content, often used in plain text formats or data processing to separate distinct blocks of text without relying on typographic conventions like blank lines. This character is invisible in normal rendering but can be inserted and interpreted by software for tasks such as text segmentation, clipboard operations, or scripting, ensuring that paragraphs remain distinct entities even when whitespace or formatting is stripped away.
