You can type them in console and vim with
File separator - C-v C-\
Group separator - C-v C-5
Record separator - C-v C-6
Unit separator - C-v C-7
They are all visible characters in both vim and emacs by default.
You can see them on the terminal with `cat -v`
It would be nice if more tools were built to take advantage of these characters, but there are some that do.
- tmalsburg2 13y agoIn Emacs, one way to enter these characters is to use `M-x ucs-insert` and then enter the hex code of the separator: M-x ucs-insert 1c M-x ucs-insert 1d M-x ucs-insert 1e M-x ucs-insert 1f for file, group, record, and unit separators. Is there an easier way?
