Don't you use '\n'? Surely nobody would say 0x0a?

 
Why not full symbolic Unicode names, à la Python:

Keep in mind that, in text mode, the <stdio.h> library routines use '\n'
in memory to represent whatever platform-specific method is used in
files to indicate a new line. For example, that can be a simple '\n' on
typical Unix-like machines, '\n\r' or '\r\n' on other operating systems,
and on a number of older systems, it could be converted to and from a
fixed-size block with a character count at the the beginning of the
block. There's no requirement that it be the Unicode line feed character.
