U+2028 " " Line Separator Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2028 " " Line Separator is a control character designed to represent an explicit line break within a paragraph, distinct from a paragraph break. It allows text to start on a new line without creating a new paragraph, meaning the following line remains logically part of the same paragraph structure. This character is particularly useful in plain text formats, such as JSON or certain programming languages, where formatting needs precise control over line breaks without introducing the semantics of a new paragraph. It is typically invisible in rendered text but instructs a display system or interpreter to move the cursor to the next line.
