A question about the newline character in KornShell scripts

Dear all,

How can we know in a KornShell script reading a value from the standard input, that the entered value is the newline character? because as far as I know we cannot use \n for pattern matching. For example:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

print -n "enter your value: "
read VALUE

if [[ $value = # Here I want to write some pattern to match the newline character ]]
then
    print "you entered the newline character"
else
    print "you didn't enter the newline character"
fi
Thanks in advance,
