Specials is the name of a short Unicode block allocated at the very end of the Basic Multilingual Plane, at U+FFF0–FFFF. Of these 16 codepoints, five are assigned as of Unicode 9.0:
-
, marks start of annotated text
-
, marks start of annotating character(s)
-
, marks end of annotation block
-
, placeholder in the text for another unspecified object, for example in a compound document.
-
used to replace an unknown or unrepresentable character
-
not a character.
-
not a character.
FFFE and FFFF are not unassigned in the usual sense, but guaranteed not to be a Unicode character at all. They can be used to guess a text's encoding scheme, since any text containing these is by definition not a correctly encoded Unicode text. Unicode's character can be inserted at the beginning of a Unicode text to signal its endianness: a program reading such a text and encountering 0xFFFE would then know that it should switch the byte order for all the following characters.
