I'm working on the ANSI escape codes interpreter and I have this escape code from the top command.

[K

I was searching this document XTerm Control Sequences and found that it's USASCII character encoding. But why it's only the output of a top command and why it's on every single line?

Can this escape code be ignored when parsing and displaying on the web? Or is it something different and used for a different purpose?

I've also found this document Line Draw Characters without VGA Fonts but here (B is used as the ending of line drawing, in my case, it's used for a different purpose
