asking questions like this is how i found out that one of the allowed characters in names in my country is ÿ, which is fine in Latin-1 but in 7-bit ASCII is DEL.
This sounds like it would create a whole list of fun and irritating edge conditions for some poor bugger to debug. Love it.
that's amazing! Aren't codecs fun
Unix or dos format?
Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.
But wouldn't it be better to use something more traditional, such as ?
What about an open bracket? (
"We call her Carrie, because of the carriage return."
You can also try to give the child NULL as middle name for additional fun.

(and Lemmy seems to combine two dashes into one)
That's easy, just call it Jhon\nDoe
John\0Doe will fuck with all C (and C based derivatives) software that touches it.
Nah, it will end up simply as "John" in the database. You need "John%sDoe" to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it's better to use several "%s"
C and C derivatives will be fine unless they're fucking up encoding.
Which rarely, if ever, happens. Especially with US software.
With an address in 's-Hertogenbosch to help people who are lazy about escaping.
Always sanitize your Data inputs.
I'd rather include a bell character '\a'

And that's why you're not safe for work.
NaN,
Not a Number, and now Not a Name
NaN: „Hey Nanna, can you call the nanny?“
This sounds like the start of another sovcit "loophole"
