I just typed ^L in Google and I couldn't find the meaning.
I tried to use the Help menu to find it in the Emacs manual, to no
avail. (Maybe I didn't search correctly, but I did what a naive user
would do.).
I also checked "Emacs Terminology" and couldn't find it.
Sorry to say, but yes, it is obscure.
C-h i emacs m pages, but really, all you have to do is print off a
buffer containing ^L's once and you will notice.
Sincerely,
Luc.
