4That's not unicode, it's a numeric character entity. – Alan Moore Jun 11 '10 at 20:22

1Agreed. Read the XML standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/), in particular section 4.1 ("Character and Entity References"). – Remy Lebeau Jun 11 '10 at 21:56

It's the ASCII character LF, Line Feed.
Some systems (e.g. Windows) use the combination CR+LF, , for line break, some systems (e.g. Linux) use only LF as line break, some systems (e.g. Macintosh) use only CR as line break.
So, only a LF character in an XML value would be a line break from a Linux system (or similar).

6This is an old post but just to point out that Macs used CR back in the days of OS 9 in the 90s. These days they use LF, since the operating system is based on Unix. – user535673 Aug 04 '16 at 09:33

It's the newline character.

While that is correct, what would be more helpful is a reference so he can look up entities himself in the future. – Michael Myers Jun 11 '10 at 18:31
