Null character

Updated: 07/20/2017 by Computer Hope
null character

A null character is programming code representing a character with no value, a missing value or denote the end of a character string. In databases and spreadsheets, a null character can also be used as padding. An example of a null character is when a software developer declares a variable without specifying a value, or sets it equal to nothing.
