Line break represented as "\r" on Mac?

I believe you're confusing two things:
- What character code does pressing the enter key yield?
- What line ending is used on which platforms?
As far as I know, the answer to #1 is 13 (ASCII carriage return, "\r") for all platforms.
Do you have a platform where this is not what you're seeing?

See fiddle: if you press
Enterin the textarea on a recent Mac, thenewlinecharacter appears to be represented by\r, which would be in direct contrast to the answers to this, this and this question and to Wikipedia. To summarise these links:-
\rrepresents a line break on old Macs (OS 9 and before) -
\nrepresents a line break on UNIX systems (OS X, Linux) -
\r\nrepresents a line break on Windows.
When I press Enter in the JSFiddle, I get the following result (OS X 10.11.6):
textarea: \r span: \nThis behaviour took a long time to figure out and seems illogical. What could be the underlying rationale?
