Is this correct? No, absolutely not. Null and horizontal tab get a lot of use still. Vertical tab and form feed get a little. Arguably escape and backspace get used (eg terminal control sequences). Whatever the status of the rest vis-a-vis newly composed documents, their meanings remain unchanged for historical documents. Unicode, covering Linear A (U+10600 to U+1077F, in use from 1800 to 1450 BC) to Signwriting (U+1D800 to U+1DAAF, a generalized notation for writing down sign languages) aims to include modern and historical content. Just because you should not expect to generate new content with start of heading (SOH) or end transmission block (ETB), doesn't mean those characters are dead space. Elijah ------ has a soft spot for ␗ U+0017
