  Ctrl-\, Ctrl-], Ctrl-^ and Ctrl-_ for file, group, record and unit separator, respectively. However, your tty driver, terminal or program are all likely to eat them or munge them. Also, virtually nothing actually uses these characters for these purposes.

    virtually nothing actually uses these characters for these purposes. Right. Which is why we have all these hilarious escaping and interpolation problems. Any why programmers will never be taken seriously by real engineers. It's like we have cement mixed and ready to go but we decide to go and forage for mud instead and think that makes us cleverer than the cement guys.
