Characters.
Nonprinting characters such as those for spaces, tabs, ends of paragraphs, index markers, and ends of stories appear. These special characters are visible only in a document window and a story editor window; they don’t print or output to formats such as PDF and XML. The hidden characters appear in the same color as the layer color.
