NameReverse line feed
Unicode numberU+008D
CategoryLatin-1 Supplement1. C1 controls
DescriptionThe Unicode character U+008D, is known as the "Reverse Line Feed". It belongs to the "C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement" block and falls under the "Control, Format" category in the Unicode standard. This character is one of the control codes originally defined in the ISO 646 and ISO 8859-1 standards, which were used to control teletypes and other early computer terminal devices. The Reverse Line Feed was intended to move the print head or cursor one line up without changing its horizontal position. In modern computing contexts, it's rarely used, as most systems and applications no longer rely on such specific control characters for cursor movement or text formatting. The specific behavior or representation of this character can vary depending on the system and application it's used in. Often, it won't have any visible representation at all when displayed in a text editor or viewer.
