Default How to get NewLine in a cell?

You can test for the code by putting =Code(A1) in cell A2, then just
entering an ALT+ENTER in A1. See what value you get.
I would have thought it would be 10, but...

This doesn't seem to work on a Mac. I'm wondering if the character set is
different. Should I be using CHAR(something_else)?

When inputting data into a cell I can Alt-Return to force a new line

Checking what code gets entered I see that it is Char(10). (Btw, the

"Char"
is my guess from a Swedish system, but you know what it is in

English).

Anyhow writing ="A" & Char(10) & "B" results in an "unknown" character

to be
shown between A and B, not a NewLine.

And, in fact writing =A1 in a cell, where A1 refers to a cell where

"A"
NewLine "B" has been entered manually results in the same output (A

"unknown"
B).

Is there a way to combine the contents of two cells into subsequent

lines in
one cell? (preferably without using a macro).
