U+001E "RS" INFORMATION SEPARATOR TWO Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
U+001E "RS" INFORMATION SEPARATOR TWO is a control character defined as part of the ASCII standard's C0 control code set, specifically designed to separate distinct records or data units within a hierarchical structure of information. Originally used in data transmission and early computer systems, it functions as a logical boundary marker between records, such as entries in a database or sequential blocks of text, allowing a receiving system to parse and organize data according to a predefined hierarchy. Its placement in the Unicode standard ensures legacy compatibility with systems that rely on these traditional control codes for data stream management.
