Source: Browser Default
U+FFFA "" Interlinear Annotation Separator is a format control character used in the Unicode standard to delimit the beginning of an interlinear annotation from the annotated text it accompanies. It is part of a set of three special characters, including U+FFF9 and U+FFFB, which together define the boundaries of an annotation in plain text, allowing for the embedding of pronunciation guides, glosses, or other supplementary information between lines of a primary text. This character is classified in the "Specials" block and is typically invisible to end users, as it functions behind the scenes to structure linguistic data for display in applications like ebooks or scholarly documents.
