Because C doesn't have that feature and is not expected to any
time soon, because C doesn't specify that '\n' is line feed, and
because using something like "\N{LINE FEED}" to denote a simple
newline charater would be silly because '\n' is already standard
and universally recognized by all C programmers.

Why do you ask?  Seriously, why did you ask this?
