try holding down ALT then on number pad do 0013 
the "box" are unprintable, often called contol codes, characters
and vary depending on the fonts in use.

Also a full line stop for window is #13#10 for called CrLf
Carriage Return /  Line Feed 
In a hex editor you will see 0D 0A

I may be backwards here but unix uses #10 and mac uses #13 and only the single 
character

Try some of the other ALT+#### up to 32 [space]
you can get some neat smiles and rude jestures.
32..127 are the ASCII printable characerts
128..255 are the old dos line drawing [boxes] and depending on the font other 
funky characters -- called the "extended character set"

Failure is not an option....
It comes standard with all Microsoft products.
