title: What is unicode character 2028 (LS / Line Separator) used for?
body: <p>I was thinking to myself that the line breaking <em>problem</em> must be somewhat solved by someone, but maybe not widely adopted. Being forward thinking, I went to search to see if there was a platform independent unicode method to separate lines. In my search I found unicode character 2028. Then, I found Jeff Atwoods <a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2010/01/the-great-newline-schism.html" rel="noreferrer">post on this topic</a> where he mentions that he's "...not sure under what circumstances you would want those Unicode newline markers."</p>
  
  <p>Well, me too. I did a little digging in the C# source code and it looks like LS (x2028) is not supported by TextReader.ReadLine() and it is also not supported in Java's BufferedReader.ReadLine(). So, my conclusion is that it is not widely supported.</p>
  
  <p>I would love to have a bright future where I can write files using a single format in Linux, MacOS and Windows. Does this little character have promise? What is it currently used for?</p>
