Does Godot support (in any part) carriage return (\r)?

Godot Version

v4.4.1.stable.mono.official [49a5bc7b6]

Question

I’ve done a little bit of testing and it seems like almost no part of Godot support it but I’m not sure. Thank you in advance!

What are you hoping to do with it? Unix-derived systems don’t usually use it in text, and in Windows it’s almost always paired with newline. Most programs don’t do anything useful with carriage return.

Nothing really, I was just curious.

There is such a tag in RichTextLabel, so I guess it would also exist wherever BBCode is implemented in Godot 4.

That’s fair. A lot of the ASCII control codes fell out of use when it transitioned to being more of a text encoding markup and less of a control protocol. We still use nul, escape, newline and tab, but things like carriage return, vertical tab, the various separator and line control codes have retreated to the margins. I don’t recall the last time I needed Negative Acknowledge ($15), End Of Text ($04) or Device Control 3 ($13), for example.
