I came across a Python library that passed the ASCII range into one of these non printable character ranges and then into a database. If someone was doing that manually with a hex table, how is that detected and mitigated?


I’m still not seeing why that is a problem. The information remains even if it has no glyphs.
It does not. It can be rendered as a control character.
But… so what?
No one reads hex as strings IRL.
But it means nothing. You can cypher in much more efficient or clever ways.
