Start of Text

Start of Text is the third Unicode character, being U+0002, it succeeds Start of Heading and precedes End of Text, it is used in data management as it's a transmission control character. It's located in the Basic Latin block in the Basic Multilingual Plane.

Transmission Control
The main use of Start of Text is as a transmission control, in such, it's used to mark the end of the header, and the start of the textual part of a stream, or in other words, when the Start of Heading commands are over, it ends at the last section of the header, and for such Start of Text marks the end of it and does the same (or similar) commands to Start of Heading however it does this in the textual stream. The (believed) reason of why Start of Text is called such is because it examines the beginning of the text after the header is exemplified, and like any start command it starts in the beginning and makes it's way to the end, however see also End of Text.

Documentation
In text and documents, it's the first character of message text, and may be used to terminate the message heading, though normally always hidden and isn't there, for example, starting out a document, if the first sentence was 'This sentence.' before the capital T a Start of Text character would be "secretly" inserted. It can also be used to terminate a paragraphic heading, if a heading was 'Fun stuff' after, or somewhere in Fun stuff their would be a Start of Text character.
