title: Is there a "end of heading" or "beginning of transmission" character in Unicode?
body: <p>Unicode has characters for <code>START OF HEADING</code> (␁ <code>U+0001</code>), <code>START OF TEXT</code> (␂ <code>U+0002</code>), <code>END OF TEXT</code> (␃ <code>U+0003</code>), and <code>END OF TRANSMISSION</code> (␄ <code>U+0004</code>). What's confusing about this is that, while there is a <code>START OF HEADING</code> character, there is no <code>END OF HEADING</code> character, and while there is an <code>END OF TRANSMISSION</code> character, there is no <code>START OF TRANSMISSION</code> character.</p>
  <p><em><strong>Where are these missing characters?</strong></em></p>
  <p>How should I go about representing the start of a transmission, or the end of a heading, using Unicode?</p>
  <p>If the answer is &quot;just use <code>START OF HEADING</code> in place of <code>START OF TRANSMISSION</code>,&quot; then what should I do if my &quot;transmission&quot; doesn't <em>have</em> a &quot;heading&quot;?</p>
  <p>If the second part of the answer is &quot;just use <code>START OF TEXT</code> in place of <code>END OF HEADING</code>,&quot; what happens if there is something <em>between</em> the heading and the text?†</p>
  <p>† I can't imagine that this happens often (if ever), but I'm asking just in case someone out there ever tries to put something between the end of the heading and the start of their text.</p>
