nl ==>|
    |CR | CR-LF

These are just ASCII characters.

'CR' is a literal character, ascii "carriage return", character 0x0D.
'LF' is a literal character, ascii "line feed", character 0x0A.

For historical reasons, there are two separate characters
to mark the end of the line.

Unix and Linux systems use 'LF'.
Windows and MS-DOS systems use 'CR' followed by 'LF'.
Macintosh systems use 'CR'.

For more information on ascii, hit google, or try this:
