Text-related layout and typing features have been enhanced in the 2014 release of Illustrator CC:
- Additional hidden characters (Type > Show Hidden Characters) have been added to depict typographic notations (see table below)
- The end-of-paragraph notation and the end-of-line notation are now different glyphs.
- The font used to display hidden characters is changed to Adobe Sans MM.
- The Illustrator text editor now honors the justification of lines that end with soft returns (Shift + Enter/Return)
- The Illustrator text editor now supports IVS (Ideographic Variation Sequence). This results in two important enhancements:
- Any imported or copied text will continue to show the correct variation of a glyph as originally typed in the source.
- When you type using an IVS-supported font, variations of glyphs are displayed as expected.
- Any imported or copied text will continue to show the correct variation of a glyph as originally typed in the source.
