ASCII Character ␄
End of TransmissionThe End of Transmission character (␄) is a control character in the ASCII and Unicode character sets with the value of 4. It is often abbreviated as EOT. The End of Transmission character was originally used in telecommunications systems, particularly those involving teletypewriters, to indicate the end of a transmission, meaning that no more data was to follow.
Here are some key details:- In ASCII and Unicode, the EOT character is defined as U+0004.
- The EOT character is often used in software development as an end of file (EOF) marker. In some programming languages, such as C and C++, the standard library functions for file I/O interpret the EOT character as an end of file indicator.
- Like other ASCII control characters, EOT does not represent a printable glyph and is typically non-visible in text content.
- In modern computing and telecommunications, the use of the EOT character is less common as more complex protocols have been developed, but it may still be used in some contexts, such as marking the end of input in certain command-line interfaces.
