U0097

U0097 is a hexadecimal representation of a Unicode character. In Unicode, characters are assigned unique code points, which can be represented in various formats, including hexadecimal. The "U" prefix indicates that the following number is a Unicode code point, and "0097" is the hexadecimal value of the character.

The code point U+0097 corresponds to the "END OF GUARDED AREA" control character. This character is part of the C0 Controls and Basic Latin block in the Unicode standard. It is a control character, which means it does not represent a visible symbol or letter but rather serves a specific function in text processing.

The "END OF GUARDED AREA" control character was originally defined in the ISO/IEC 6429 standard, which specifies a set of control characters for use in text processing and communication. The guarded area is a section of text that is protected from certain types of modifications. The "END OF GUARDED AREA" character marks the end of such a protected section.

In practical terms, U+0097 is rarely used in modern text processing and communication. Most text processing systems and protocols have moved away from using these specific control characters, opting instead for more modern and flexible methods of text protection and formatting. However, understanding and recognizing these characters can be important for compatibility with older systems and standards.
