General Category - Separator

Separator is a category for characters that create blank space or division in text without being visible themselves. These include the space, tab, line break, and paragraph break characters, such as U+0020, U+0009, U+000A, and U+2029. Their primary function is to separate words, lines, or blocks of content, aiding readability and structural organization in written language. Unlike punctuation or format controls, separators are inherently whitespace-like and do not carry semantic meaning on their own, but they influence text layout, word boundaries, and data parsing. In computing, they are essential for tokenizing strings, formatting code, and ensuring proper rendering across different scripts and writing systems.
