    "What is the ASCII code for newline?" 
0x0a, one of whose names is NL.  This is well-defined.  There is no ASCII code for
"newline". 
Hm, I was under the impression that 0x0a had two names, LF (line feed)
and NL (newline), and that it was up to each sender and receiver using
the code to decide which meaning they'd use.

This impression dates back long enough that I no longer have any idea
where I got it, but it must ahve been a source authoritative-seeming
enough for me to have believd it at the time.  Someday I should go look
up the real X3.4....
