nonprintable
Won't render onscreen
Nonprintable describes characters or content that cannot be rendered visibly on a page or screen.
In computing, nonprintable characters are control codes—tabs, line breaks, null bytes—that affect formatting but produce no visible output: The file contained nonprintable characters that corrupted the display.
Outside computing, nonprintable may describe content unsuitable for publication.
