ℹ️ About
The Padding Character (U+0080) is a C1 control code within the Latin-1 Supplement block. While it lacks a formal graphic symbol, it is technically defined as a non-printing control character. In many legacy encodings (like Windows-1252), this position was often repurposed for the Euro symbol (€), but in strict Unicode, it remains a system control character primarily used for data alignment or terminal signaling.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with € (U+20AC Euro Sign), which is a common visual substitution in non-UTF-8 legacy environments.
