Default Can I insert 'carriage/line returns' in text string?

Is there a function or code to enter 'carriage returns' in a text string? I
am using concatenate functions to extract and combine text and field names
from a spreadsheet. The final (one cell) text of the row or 'record' is
easier to share/confirm with those without access to the spreadsheet since I
can then copy/paste the text from the one cell into an email. Currently, I
don't know how to force the formatting or if it is possible. Currently the
cell looks like: Name: Jim Smith Age: 29 City: New York. I'd like the text
to be formatted with line returns like this:
Name: Jim Smith
Age: 29
City: New York
