Unicode Version 17.0
␊
U+240A "␊" Symbol for Line Feed is a graphic representation of the control code LF, typically used to indicate a line break or newline in text. It is part of the Control Pictures block, designed to visually depict nonprintable control characters, making it useful for documentation, debugging, and educational contexts where the presence of such codes needs to be shown. This symbol does not perform the action of moving to a new line itself but rather stands in for the invisible carriage return function that occurs in data streams.
