Checklist

[X] This is a bug report, not a question. Ask questions on discuss.ipfs.io.
[X] I have searched on the issue tracker for my bug.

Installation method

built from source

Version

v0.17

Config

N/A

Description

Take for example this directory: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafyaaeqsbqfaiakvaaabeas4nymaacqcbaaq,

the file shows up as \n in the gateway
\\n in ipfs ls bafyaaeqsbqfaiakvaaabeas4nymaacqcbaaq
but get stored as 0x20 (new line character) when downloaded with ipfs get bafyaaeqsbqfaiakvaaabeas4nymaacqcbaaq
but when printed with ipfs cat you need to use \\n, ipfs cat bafyaaeqsbqfaiakvaaabeas4nymaacqcbaaq/\\n.

This is a broken mess, and I can't make a spec out of that, I think I'll just make a new spec for paths and fix kubo then.

IMO we should use golang spec's interpreted_string_lit with " trimed off.
