13.1.7 Character Names

The following character names must be present in all conforming implementations:

Newline

The character that represents the division between lines. An implementation must translate between #\Newline, a single-character representation, and whatever external representation(s) may be used.

Space

The space or blank character.

The following names are semi-standard; if an implementation supports them, they should be used for the described characters and no others.

Rubout

The rubout or delete character.

Page

The form-feed or page-separator character.

Tab

The tabulate character.

Backspace

The backspace character.

Return

The carriage return character.

Linefeed

The line-feed character.

In some implementations, one or more of these character names might denote a standard character; for example, #\Linefeed and #\Newline might be the same character in some implementations.
