Word Break - Newline

Unicode Version 18.0

Newline is a special value that designates the line feed character (U+000A), the carriage return character (U+000D), and the pair of carriage return followed by line feed as a single unit for text segmentation. This value functions as a hard break that forces a line boundary, meaning that no text segment, such as a word or a grapheme cluster, can ever be split or extended across it. In practical terms, it ensures that breaks occur exactly at these newline sequences, preventing any adjacent characters from being grouped with the newline itself. It also interacts with other break values by overriding them, so that a newline always creates a mandatory split, regardless of surrounding punctuation or spaces, which is essential for preserving the intended formatting and structure of multiline text.
