Rev on OS X displays a character for ASCII 11 that looks like a curved arrow. ASCII 29 doesn't display any character in a field (I tried several fonts) and seems to work OK as an invisible delimiter.

The definition is "group separator" according to the ASCII definition (http://www.asciitable.com/). Does anyone see a problem using ASCII 29? I can't imagine what it would be used for these days.

FWIW, I've standardized on ASCII 11 for cr-in-data placeholders, if only
because that's the character FileMaker Prouses for exports. I could have
used any uncommon character, but they have a million users so they won. ;)
Also, ASCII 11 is "vertical tab", so it's at least conceptually related and
not likely to be used for some other purpose (as opposed to ASCII 4 "end of
text" for example).
