   @tychotithonus @gvwilson I hereby vow to find an excuse to use this in production code. Soon.

     Pretty sure IBM Websphere uses these characters in message queue encoding. When parsing raw messages from the MQ that were dropped in the logs I had an alias for ‘tr’ to convert them into printable ASCII to make them easier to understand.

     I think I also delved into these for a `find -printf` command where the remote might have more than just spaces in their file names.

     All still running in production right now.
