Difference between \n and "enter arrow"?

Are the \n and the "enter arrow" identical when you want a new line? Found the \n when translating Block-Advert.

\n :: means print a newline (essentially what happens when press Enter key)

Enter arrow :: if you mean the symbol (⏎ or ↵) it means press Enter key for newline,
NOTE: or to send a command to the OS, interpreter.

(Arrow: could mean left, right, up or down arrow, could mean the direction arrows.)

Thanks, was trying to figure out if it was possible to use only ⏎ to get a new line in the strings. Some standardization makes the translation work faster.
