The cursor (also called the pointer) is the item on screen which marks the position of the mouse.

When in a document the insertion point is where text will appear when you start to type on the keyboard it is usually a blinking vertical line.

In a command line window it is a blinking underscore and also where input will appear (if allowed)

In Microsoft Word there is no character that denotes the end of a line unless a hard line break has been set (Shift+Enter) the hard line break appears as an arrow that is bent down and to the left.
