What Does Character 0x1f Mean?

Hello learner, 0x1f means US( Unit Separator) according to the ASCII table, and this code comes under the first 32 ASCII codes, which are ASCII control characters. These first 32 codes are invisible characters. The position of the US in the ASCII table is 31.

So, when you’re using any ordinary editors like notepad, then it shows as an error, but you will not be able to find and fix it. To fix it, open the text file with the help of any text editor, which shows invisible characters, and you can clear them.

Decimal	Octal	Hexadecimal	Binary	Character
031	037	0x1f	00011111	US(unit separator)
