http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#UnicodeThe Unicode standard defines a large number of characters that conforming applications should recognize as line terminators:
LF: Line Feed, U+000A
FF: Form Feed, U+000C
CR: Carriage Return, U+000D
CR+LF: CR (U+000D) followed by LF (U+000A)
NEL: Next Line, U+0085
LS: Line Separator, U+2028
PS: Paragraph Separator, U+2029
I tested
/sockread %variable and nothing works except CR+LF. Perhaps this can be corrected? for the Unicode Standard
