Like other control characters, this symbol has no visual representation and does not occupy a lot of space on screen or in typed text. There is a separate symbol in [BLOCK:control-pictures] representing the graphical depiction of the End of Text symbol. It shows as the EOT (End of Transmission) abbreviation - [U:2404].
