Can't replace newline in string

I am downloading strings from a SQL-DB, which are formatted like this:

What's green and has wheels? 
Grass, I lied about the wheels.

Now the problem is, is that I can't replace the newline in that string.

I tried:

myString = myString.Replace(System.Environment.NewLine, " ")

or .Replace("<br />", " ") or .Replace("\r\n", " ") or .Replace("\n", " ")

The likeliest reason is that the newlines in the string are not \r\n, but just \n. Try to replace \n instead.

EDIT: try to get the bytes from the string and post them here so that we can see the actual characters.

var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(myString);
string bytesAsString = BitConverter.ToString(bytes);
