What is the meaning of this character?

I am trying to recreate an input file for an attendance software, but it won't take the input. When I opened a legacy input file with vim it showed ^K character in light blue colour instead of a new line character shown in GUI text editors. What is the meaning of this character and how can I recreate this in PHP?

To know which character it is, put the cursor on ^K and press ga in normal-mode.

You will get probably:

<^K>  11,  Hexa 0b,  Octal 013

It has ascii code 11 so it might be the vertical tab. You can create it with this combination Ctrl-v+Ctrl-k
