What's confusing about it? The line separator is a character, just like
the non-breaking space is a character. The coding system then encodes
those as some number of bytes, typically 1 or 2 (e.g. using utf-8-dos,
they will both use up 2 bytes, IIRC, whereas with latin-1-unix they'd
both use up a single byte, and of course you get other combinations
with latin-1-dos and utf-8-unix, and I'll let you check what can happen
with things like iso-2022-7bit).
