In Python's module named string, there is a line that says whitespace = ' \t\n\r\v\f'.

' ' is a space character.
'\t' is a tab character.
'\n' is a newline character.
'\r' is a carriage-return character.

'\v' maps to '\x0b' (11). What does it mean and how might it be typed on a keyboard (any OS)?
'\f' maps to '\x0c' (12). What does it mean and how might it be typed on a keyboard (any OS)?
