U+009E "PM" PRIVACY MESSAGE Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

PM

U+009E "PM" PRIVACY MESSAGE is a historic control code originally defined in older character encoding standards like ISO 8859-1 and used within telecommunication protocols to signal the beginning of a privacy message, such as a secure or confidential transmission, or to mark text that should not be permanently stored. However, in the modern Unicode standard, this character is designated as a C1 control code and is generally deprecated for use in plain text, as its intended function is better handled by contemporary encryption and message handling systems. It is not a printable glyph and has no standard visual representation, making it rarely encountered outside of legacy data or specialized low level communication contexts.
