„\x85 The ellipsis or NEXT LINE (NEL) character (…), \u0085.”

Okay, maybe the old NEXT LINE (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0085) can be considered whitespace but ellipsis (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2026) cannot.

Very confusing line: „The ellipsis or NEXT LINE (NEL) character (…)” I don’t think NEXT LINE was ever called „ellipsis”.

If you agree, please correct that line like this:

„\x85 The NEXT LINE (NEL) character, \u0085.”
