Symbol for carriage return in eclipse

686 views Asked by At

I'm writing an article about line-endings, and I can't seem to find the symbol that Eclipse uses for carriage returns when the "show whitespace" option is turned on. Can anyone help me out? Bonus virtual high five if you can also tell me the name of the symbol, as well as name and symbol for line-feeds.

Note: I'm NOT looking for how to put carriage returns in strings or anything similar, just the symbol that Eclipse uses to denote carriage returns.

Reading through the link that Boann provided, I found the symbol in question.

¤ - the Currency Sign

I feel it would be wrong accepting that answer though, as it didn't actually answer my question.

It's called the pilcrow (¶). It dates from medieval times and is not Eclipse-specific.
