A FF is x0C in ASCII. Set your string control or block diagram string constant for Hex Display (by right clicking on it) and enter the value.

If you set it to "show backslash codes" you can enter \n for line feed
and \r for carriage return. The advantage of show backslash codes above
hex code view is that the normal text still displays normally but non
printable characters are shown as \xx.
