reset - Reset the Terminal Screen



Sometimes, when the clear command doesn't clear the terminal screen properly and you encounter strange characters or abnormal behavior on your terminal, you can try using the reset command. Running reset can often resolve these issues and return your terminal to a clean and functioning state.

Example:
$ cat /sbin/shutdown ←Intentionally display a binary file (often results in garbled text)
┌┌␋┼┤│.⎽⎺.2 ␋┼␋├┌⎺±.
$ reset ←Reset the terminal screen
