help with egrep ^L

Wed Jul 12 14:52:42 UTC 2006

I have an undocumented script that performs egrep ^L</code>. From
what I can tell this is not a literal ^L. The ^L is only visible in VIM
not if I cat the file. It must be some sort of control character. What
does it mean and how can I represent it in a less cryptic fashion?
