It's not a separator character, but at least vim and emacs acknowledge the page feed character. A pittance, I suppose.



> It's not a separator character,

Isn't it? I thought all the separator characters (0x1e, 0x1f, 0x1c) were specifically for delimiting records, fields and units.

What are they for?


They’re saying that “page feed character” (I’m guessing form feed) is acknowledged by Emacs, in contrast to those separator characters.

I think it’s used to mark sections in Emacs Lisp code.
