Protegrity tokenization can generate the same token regardless of how the data is formatted. Any character in the input that does not comply with the token types in the Tokenization Types is generally treated as a delimiter and remains unchanged during tokenization.

The following table shows how the Protegrity Token types handles delimiters and spaces as compared to plain numerical data.

Note: Some tokenizers can tokenize delimiters. Unicode Gen2, lower ASCII, printable, and binary are examples of tokenizers that can tokenize delimiters.
