General Category - Line Separator

Line Separator is a category assigned to a single Unicode character, U+2028, which explicitly represents a line break in text. It functions as an unambiguous, invisible separator that marks a hard line ending, distinct from paragraph breaks or soft wrapping. In rendering, it forces a new line without starting a new paragraph, and it is not affected by surrounding white space or text flow. This value is useful in plain text data, such as log files or formatted lists, where a precise, machine readable line delimiter is needed, and it behaves consistently across different platforms and fonts unlike control codes like carriage return or newline. Its presence in a string indicates a mandatory visual line break, but it does not imply any semantic structure beyond that, making it a low level tool for layout and data exchange.
