New-line

Newline (frequently called line ending, end of line (EOL), line feed, or line break) is a control character in a character encoding specification, like e.g. ASCII. It is used to signify the end of a line of text and the start of a new one. Text editors set this special character when pressing the Enter key.

When displaying (or printing) a text file, this control character causes the text editor to show the following characters in a new line.

The concepts of line feed (LF) and carriage return (CR) are closely associated, and can be considered either separately or together. In the physical media of typewriters and printers, two axes of motion, "down" and "across", are needed to create a new line on the page. Although the design of a machine (typewriter or printer) must consider them separately, the abstract logic of software can combine them together as one event. This is why a newline in character encoding can be defined as LF and CR combined into one (commonly called CR+LF or CRLF).

Some character sets provide a separate newline character code. EBCDIC, for example, provides an NL character code in addition to the CR and LF codes. Unicode, in addition to providing the ASCII CR and LF control codes, also provides a "next line" (NEL) control code, as well as control codes for "line separator" and "paragraph separator" markers.
