ASCII provides us with four "separator" characters, as shown below in a snippet from the ascii(7) *nix man page:

   Oct   Dec   Hex   Char
   ----------------------
   034   28    1C    FS  (file separator)
   035   29    1D    GS  (group separator)
   036   30    1E    RS  (record separator)
   037   31    1F    US  (unit separator)
