What does the box after the character string mean.

visual studio .net debugging: I am debugging some code that includes C# and Managed C++ code that I
inherited. I'm relatively new to dotnet and have been having trouble with
comparing strings. While debugging, popup boxes that show the string values
some times have a box at the end. Does this indicate a null terminated
C-type string or a unicode string?

I found the answer. The boxes in strings indicate control characters. I was
comparing a string that had a new line control character to an identical
string but without the new line control character. They looked the same but
they weren't.
