I have to chime in with Jan here. I recently was debugging a problem 
where the EOF character was getting into a field and into the middle of 
my string variables. Turns out that when you copy paste from MS Excel 
cell contents on OS X, you get all kinds of weird control characters 
including EOF. The field just displays it as text though.
