It’s the vertical line that blinks in text boxes and documents when you edit. Other than that I don’t know much about it.

    More important reason for it blinking is so you know it isn’t a character |

        I mean so you literally don’t confuse it with a character, as opposed to making it noticeable in a long string of characters. Both are important.
