"NUL" is an abbreviation used in tables when you don't have enough space to write the full name: "null character".

Yep, fair description.

Where do you want to mention this abbreviation?

Sorry, I meant worth mentioning on the list, not anywhere particular in the docs - the topic came up recently when an instance of NUL was incorrectly changed to read 'NULL' instead and it took me a moment to figure out why the same reasoning didn't apply in this case.

Cheers, Nick.
