    Hi chetanhiwale ,

     

    Thank you for your feedback. We attempted using the example you mentioned: print ("microsoft \n fabric").

    As you noted, by default, \n in Python represents a newline character. To display \n as plain text, additional steps are required.

     

    We need to escape the backslash (\) or use a raw string. Here are the steps:

    1. Escape the backslash (\\n)

    print ("microsoft \\n fabric")

     

    1. Use a raw string (r"string")

     

    • \\n: The double backslash \\ instructs Python to interpret \n as a literal \n instead of a newline character.
    • r"...": The r prefix before a string denotes a raw string, which treats backslashes as literal characters.

     

    If the suggestions provided do not resolve your issue, kindly share a snippet of the exact code you are using for encoding, decoding, and updating the notebook. With more context, I can assist further in debugging.
