Prerequisites

While programming, I encountered cases where inputting control characters would cause errors, but I didn’t know how to intentionally input control characters, so I researched this.

How to Input Control Characters in CotEditor

You can input control characters from the CotEditor menu. The advantage is that you can input them without changing system preferences.

  • In Japanese: [編集] - [文字を Unicode 16 進数で入力…] ([Edit] - [Input Character in Unicode Hex...])
  • In English: [Edit] - [Input in Unicode Hex...]
Input in Unicode Hex | CotEditor Input in Unicode Hex \\u0000 | CotEditor

That’s all from the Gemba on inputting control characters on macOS.
