No. There is no such a thing as "'\n' in Latin". There is "'\n' in $encoding" and UTF-8 as $encoding is able to represent all characters from all alphabets which were defined in Unicode standard.

Usually people using non-English locales have their input method set up so they can switch between languages. If not then e.g. with Russian keyboard you have much bigger problems then inputting '\n': what about "e", "c", "h", "o" and "'"? Standard Russian keybord layout has no "'" and commands are not translated.
