U+2404 "␄" Symbol for End of Transmission Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
␄
U+2404 "␄" Symbol for End of Transmission is a control character graphic used to visually represent the ASCII control character EOT (End of Transmission, code point 0x04) in contexts that require a visible glyph rather than the original non printable control code. It originates from the need to display or document data transmission protocols, such as those in telecommunications or early computer systems, where the EOT signal formally marks the conclusion of a message or data stream. This symbol is part of the Unicode Control Pictures block, which provides a standardized way to depict otherwise invisible control characters in text based environments.
