I came across a Python library that passed the ASCII range into one of these non printable character ranges and then into a database. If someone was doing that manually with a hex table, how is that detected and mitigated?

    It’s not detected or mitigated, because it’s nothing bad. People can use whatever data formats or file formats they want. This is just another weird data format.
