More important reason for it blinking is so you know it isn’t a character |
Comment on Why is the caret made, and why does it blink?

It exists so that you know where a character will appear when you press a key on the keyboard.
It blinks because it’s hard to find a line on a page of lines.

That’s more or less what I said, isn’t it?

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.
