How to keep the ```n``` char in a string in java without actually creating a new line?

Question

I have a string of csv data. For some fields, the data has n char in it which is disrupting the csv file. I want to keep that n char in the data without creating a new line. Is there some way to escape the creation of a new line and keeping the char as well in java. A sample would be ->
Name,Description
Test,HellonWorld

Now when I will open this csv file in a csv viewer there will be a new line there. I can't remove the n char and replace it with "". So is there some way to keep it and escape the functionality of n char in java?

n a newline character. To use it as a normal statement you may use it as "
".
to say:
Hello
 World

n is special. It is an escape sequence that stands for a newline.
You need to escape it in a string literal in order for it to be actually interpreted the way you want. Append a  before it so it looks like this:
