How can i create a file that contains an enter in its name

I haven't found the answer to this question anywhere so i am just going to ask it here.

I am looking for something like touch "..." , is there something like a special character that replaces the enter key ?

I know this is really not useful for anything, but i am still wondering if it is possible.

To create a file with a\nb as name from the shell, do v.gr. 

touch 'a
b'

You can check the file has a new line char into its name by issuing next command:

for fn in *; do echo "filename=<$fn>"; done
