Bash equivalent is just:

  echo $'hello\nworld'

This uses ANSI C quoting https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/ANSI_002d... .

Do I understand correctly that you linked to a SO question about how to have the DOS batch command "echo" emit a newline just so you can point out how to do it in a different shell used primarily on a different OS?
