Line Separator (U+2028) character Copy and Paste

The Line Separator (U+2028) is a Unicode control character used to indicate a line break without starting a new paragraph. Unlike the standard newline or carriage return, this character explicitly tells text-rendering systems to move to the next line while keeping the same paragraph structure.

It is particularly useful in programming, text processing, and data formatting where line breaks are required but paragraph separation is not desired. Because it is invisible, it allows precise control over line layout without adding visible characters.
