I believe (please anyone correct me if I am wrong) that "text" files
won't contain any null byte; many text editors even refuse to open such a
file, I guess since they assume it is a "binary" file.
Probably it is the same with some other control characters like 04 (End
of Transmission). When I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
it seems like 1C (File Separator) or 1E (Record Separator) might be
appropriate choices for you. I'm no expert on this, though.
Best regards
