What is vertical tab, form feeds and backspace character? How to use them in JavaScript?

character, javascript

Solution

- Vertical tab: `\v` = U+000b

- "Position the form at the next line tab stop." (ignored on Safari.)

- Form feed: `\f` = U+000c

- "On printers, load the next page. In some terminal emulators, it clears the screen." (truncates the string on Safari.)

- Backspace: `\b` = U+0008

- "Move the cursor one position leftwards." (ignored on Safari.)

These escape sequences are defined probably because all other C-derived languages have them. Generally you won't need to use them, nor they will have useful effects on the text.
