I know that this is some kind of special character issue but I do not know how to solve it.

I type in console

echo "-n"

and nothing get printed :(

I also tried with

echo -e "-n" 

to execute the special characters (the one escaped from sequence) but again nothing happend

how can I print "-n" ?

Answer 1

Try

printf "%s\n" -n

or

printf "%s\n" '-n'
