## Cause

If the message contains any control character (for example - line feeds - \\n), the message is converted from ascii display to hex display, because control characters do not have ascii display.   

The message can be converted from hex to ascii using <https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.html> or similar tools.
