# Unprintable characters

You can enable visual cues for displaying unprintable characters, such as space and tab, but also end of line characters (like CR and LF).

To display space and tab characters, select View->Show Symbol->Show White Space and TAB. Visual cues will be added to the document where space and tab characters are located. The color can be set using the styler configurator (see Styler Configurator).

To display newline characters, select View->Show Symbol->Show End of Line. Newline characters will be shown in boxes at the end of each line, but this does not change the editing behavior.

To display both newline characters and whitespace at the same time, select View->Show Symbol->Show all characters.

To type an unprintable character in, you can use the standard Alt-nnn method. But the Character Panel comes handy too - see Character Panel.
