Dear C experts,
I've noticed that some source files, e.g.
subversion/libsvn_repos/authz.c,
subversion/libsvn_subr/config_file.c or
subversion/libsvn_client/conflicts.c, contain 0x0C characters. What is
their
purpose or do they exist by error?

I believe emacs does something clever with this which is why they've
been added. I don't use emacs and don't know what the benefits are.
It is described a little in the Community Guide:

Kind regards,
