title: What to use as a string delimiter?
body: <p>I am going to put some sort of delimiter to define a boundary between field labels, field data, and separate fields <em>in the text of options for a dropdown</em>. This will be used to parse the text for a side visual. The user will be able to see the delimiter. </p>
  
  <h2>What should I use as a delimiter that the user wont notice but will still be easily distinguishable in a regex?</h2>
  
  <p>I was thinking of using square brackets (there will be no brackets in the data, and other delimiters can be screened as well).</p>
