END-OF-TRANSMISSION CHARACTER

In telecommunication, an 'end-of-transmission character' (EOT) is a transmission control character used to indicate the conclusion of a transmission that may have included one or more texts and any associated message headings.
''Note:'' An EOT is often used to initiate other functions, such as releasing circuits, disconnecting terminals, or placing receive terminals in a standby condition. In the Unix operating system, the character is used to denote the end of a file.
EOT is also used within the PHP coding language.
In Unicode, the hexadecimal code number is 0x04.
