This looks suspiciously like homework which we will not do for you.

However I would say that None on its own does not do anything useful.

So ask yourself some questions, and tell us the answers if you still
need help...

1) What should the function return - what type of result?
2) How do you define a unicode control character? What exactly,
   and I do mean *exactly* are you looking for?

I would suggest you probably want some kind of output
or your program will be very boring.
Maybe print the string?
