Can you use 0x1E-0x1F ASCII codes?

Programming@programming.devEnglish · 5 days ago

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?

Depends on if you want your data format to be strict ascii. If you don’t care, then sure, why not?
