13.1.7 Character Names
The following character names must be present in all conforming implementations:
- Newline
-
The character that represents the division between lines. An implementation must translate between #\Newline, a single-character representation, and whatever external representation(s) may be used.
- Space
-
The space or blank character.
The following names are semi-standard; if an implementation supports them, they should be used for the described characters and no others.
- Rubout
-
The rubout or delete character.
- Page
-
The form-feed or page-separator character.
- Tab
-
The tabulate character.
- Backspace
-
The backspace character.
- Return
-
The carriage return character.
- Linefeed
-
The line-feed character.
In some implementations, one or more of these character names might denote a standard character; for example, #\Linefeed and #\Newline might be the same character in some implementations.
