    Of course. In Windows you can hold Alt and type 0 0 9 before releasing the Alt key to enter the character without triggering any “move to next field” behaviour. In *nix it should be Ctrl+I.

    Similar with other control characters - NUL (0) might be harder to type, yet substantially more likely to break things!

    SHY is good if you’d like a character which can’t be seen, without needing to resort to Unicode.
