I read through the wiki but haven't found the answer for some special characters I've seen used so far.
As example here is one of Wykyyds
## Title: |cFF2222Wykkyd's|r Framework |c0066991.4.21.1|r
I understand how the color is applied and how the added spaces affect the text.
But what does the | character do and what does the r character do?

"|c" signifies that following 6 characters are actually HEX RGB, and all letters will be "painted" till the "|r" is met.
You can call them special characters. Somewhat like "\n" in strings.
