I am curious, what happens within a text area field when a user presses enter? I remember reading someplace that “/n” is generated “behind the scenes.” Is that true? If not what happens really?

It’s not behind the scenes;
\n(not/n) is the escape sequence for a newline. The reason you don’t see it in the textarea is because the control actually renders a newline. See for yourself.
