The man page is out-of-date. If you look at the info file, you see that you must provide the -e switch to /bin/echo to enable this. % /bin/echo -e 'testing\c' testing% % /bin/echo 'testing\c' testing\c % I recommend using pinfo instead of man, since man pages are often out-of-date if there's an info file.
