U+0087 "ESA" END OF SELECTED AREA Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
U+0087 "ESA" END OF SELECTED AREA is a control character from the C1 control code set, originally defined for use in text transmission and processing to mark the precise boundary where a selected or highlighted portion of text ends. It is part of a suite of formatting controls, often used in conjunction with its counterpart, "Start of Selected Area" (U+0086), to delineate regions of interest within a document or data stream. While rarely encountered in modern plain text, this character remains defined in Unicode for compatibility with older systems, particularly those following the ISO/IEC 6429 standard, and its inclusion ensures that historical data can be accurately represented without loss of intended semantic structure.
