    A line break is a non-printable character. So it would only work in the scope of electronic storage. The minute it hits other media, the line break character is subject to how that media handles it’s presence, and then it is lost permanently from that step forward.

    Plus, many input forms make use of validation that will just trim anything that isn’t a character or number, removing the line break character.
