## Lines
### The new line character `'\n'`
One other special characters in strings is the `\n` (new line), we use it to
represent a new line without having to have a new line in our string.
Also the single and double quote delimited strings can't actually have literal
new lines:
```js
let fewlines = "\nHellođź‘Ź\nTheređź‘Ź\n";
// Same string but with literal new lines:
let usingLiteral = `
Hellođź‘Ź
Theređź‘Ź
`;
```
You can use the literal `\n` character to split text on each lines:
```js
let splitted = `
Hellođź‘Ź
Theređź‘Ź
`.split("\n");
console.log(splitted); // ['','Hellođź‘Ź','Theređź‘Ź', '']
// Note that empty lines becomes empty strings !
```
