When I add a note to an entry (from Org agenda, say), it adds a \\ at
the end of the note line heading. Example:
- Note taken on [2021-03-01 Mon 20:44] \\
Done. Check =ffmpeg-dispatch-load= and =ffmpeg-dispatch-save=.
The addition of this suffix is hardcoded in `org-store-log-note'. What
is its purpose?

It ensures a line break (say, when the document is exported). From the
[[info:org#Paragraphs][org#Paragraphs]] section in the manual:
#+begin_quote
Paragraphs are separated by at least one empty line. If you need to
enforce a line break within a paragraph, use ‘\\’ at the end of a line.
#+end_quote

It is stolen from LaTeX, see,e.g. [1].
(it was difficult to find a ref which is *not* stackoverflow
and its ilk, sigh)
