Line Break - Next Line

Next Line is a control character that forces a line break, specifically indicating a new line of text, distinct from a soft or optional break. In text processing, it functions as a mandatory break, meaning that a line of text must end at this point and the following content begins on a new line, regardless of the available space or other formatting rules. It is typically used in data formats or protocols where explicit line termination is required, such as in certain legacy systems or for representing hard line breaks in a stream of text. When this character appears, rendering engines must treat it as a definitive boundary, not subject to hyphenation, justification, or other line-breaking adjustments that might apply to spaces or other break opportunities.
