U0011U0014

U0011U0014 refers to two Unicode code points, U+0011 and U+0014, which together correspond to the characters Device Control 1 (DC1) and Device Control 4 (DC4). They are part of the C0 Controls and Basic Latin block, covering code points from U+0000 to U+001F, and they are non-printing control codes.

DC1 and DC4 were defined for device and communication control in early ASCII and serial interfaces. DC1 has historically been associated with flow control in some systems, notably in arrangements that also use DC3 (0x13) for XOFF, leaving DC1 commonly linked to resuming transmission in certain contexts. DC4 is more variable in its meaning, lacking a universal, standardized function across devices and protocols; its interpretation depends on the specific hardware or software protocol in use.

In Unicode, U+0011 and U+0014 retain their roles as control characters rather than printable symbols. When encoded in UTF-8, these code points appear as single bytes: 0x11 and 0x14. In source code or data files, they may be represented with escape sequences such as \u0011 or \x11, depending on the language or tooling.

Modern software and text processing generally treat these codes as non-printing controls. They are rarely used for text content and may be ignored, stripped, or trigger device-specific behavior in terminals or printers if encountered in streams. Their presence is more common in low-level data, protocol implementations, or legacy systems than in contemporary text workflows.
