We're processing text from a webpage text area--which the
user may type or paste in--our code being a text filter
something like BBCode.

While processing the text, there are segments which are
exploded, imploded, and either processed or skipped,
depending. In our PHP code, we're using "\01" and "\02" as
markers for the segments, etc.

Is it safe to use these characters, or is there any danger
the same characters will somehow show up unbidden in the
user input text and mess up our text segmenting and
reassembly?
