The meaning of character in make manual

What is the meaning of a character in the make manual? Is it an ASCII
character and it is one of the 128 characters of ACSII? or it is one of 256
characters of ASCII? Each character is specified by one byte in the make
source code?
Another question is that can i  specify all the 128 characters of ASCII like
linefeed(LF) in the make script? Suppose I have a variable named var:
var=thisisLFmyvar
How can i put linefeed or other control characters between "thisis" and
"myvar"?
Thank you to read my message.
Cheers
