About this symbol

␊ is a printable picture of the line feed control code, number 10 in ASCII, which moves to a new line. Unix, Linux, macOS and the web end every line with it alone, while Windows traditionally ends lines with a carriage return and a line feed together, a leftover from typewriters and teleprinters.
