ℹ️ About
The Synchronous Idle (SYN) character is a non-printing control code used to signal a synchronous transmission system to maintain its timing when no actual data is being sent. It prevents the receiver from losing track of the character boundaries (bit-sync) during idle gaps.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ~ (Tilde) or (Space).
