0x241E

0x241E refers to the Unicode code point U+241E, which is part of the Control Pictures block (range U+2400 to U+243F). The formal name for U+241E is SYMBOL FOR RECORD SEPARATOR, corresponding to the RS control character that historically served to separate records in data streams.

Because RS is a non-printing control code, U+241E is primarily used in technical contexts such as documentation, debugging, or terminal emulation to indicate the presence of a control character. In environments that support the Control Pictures repertoire, the code point renders as a distinct glyph; many fonts and applications, however, display it as a placeholder or omit it entirely when unsupported.

Encoding and representation: In Unicode, U+241E encodes to UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence E2 90 9E (and to 0x241E in UTF-16). In HTML, it can be referenced as ␞ or ␞. Its appearance and support depend on the font and rendering system in use.

Relation to other characters: U+241E is one of several control-picture symbols in the same block, which collectively provide visual representations for various non-printing control codes. These symbols are mainly of interest to developers, font designers, and those working with character encoding and text processing.
