Yes, I had noticed that little annoyance. But I just did some more testing
and discovered you can double escape the "\" and that apparently works in
both bash and ash.
echo -e -n "\b\\\\"
It apparently will also work in your "for" loop from your previous message.
for i in \\\\ \| / - ; do
echo -e -n "\b$i"

with shell scripting.
