Maybe according to the defined behavior of those characters, but that can't be why notepad doesn't support Unix line endings, as it still doesn't actually line feed when it sees a line feed character. I have never tried but I also suspect it won't do a carriage return for just a carriage return character (to be fair, that wouldn't really makes sense in a text editor anyway).
