A newline in character encoding can be defined as CR and LF combined into one (commonly called CR+LF or CRLF).

History becomes encoded. But what a carriage return and line feed looks like will be mostly lost in time.

Gif showing an old typewriter and the typist physically pushing the carriage holding the paper to the right, bringing the left side of the paper to the beginning of a new line.
