After needing to find a small delimiter for my data format I started wondering if I could use 0x1E-0x1F?

They are part of the control codes so I thought they might do something weird?

But who escapes the escape characters?

It's escape characters all the way down

You can use Unicode pictures: ␜ ␝ ␞ ␟
