VT

Vertical Tabulation

ControlASCII 11 | Hex 0x0B | U+000B
VT (code 11) advances the cursor to the next vertical tab stop. Few modern applications recognize vertical tabs because screen-based terminals replaced line printers where VT had physical meaning. Some programming style guides explicitly ban VT from source code. In Python, the string escape \v produces VT but rarely appears in practice. LaTeX and word processors use their own paragraph and section spacing mechanisms instead.
