Special character \x100E gets stripped while encoding android

Question

I am working on US Drivers License string. I get that string from manatee scanning sdk

The license string starts with format @\n\x001E\rANSI 63601... while encoding it to json (json encoding is done internally by spring framework) the special character \x001E gets stripped resulting in string something like this @\n\rANSI 63601

I tried to ASCII encode license string first by doing:

LicenseString = new String(LicenseString.getBytes(), "ASCII");

this does preserves \x001E but strips \n \r chars

resulting in string something like this @\x001eANSI 630601...

Can somebody guide me what am i doing wrong?

P.S: double escaping special chars etc is not an option for me here.

EDIT

I am working in Android Studio and i am storing the string @\n\x001E\rANSI 63601... in a Java String object
