ASCII has 4 delimiter characters: file, group, record, and unit.

They are not used in editors that I have ever seen.

They are theoretically accessible as ctrl-/, ctrl-], ctrl-^, ctrl_

Editors absolutely should be able to show them using syntax highlighting.

There are 3 more: 001, 002 and 003

Probably most of the first 32 can be repurposed.
