I have also tried this idea.  Thanks for the suggestion though.  To be more
exact about the character I am getting though, it is a letter Y with two
dashes in it.  Each dash being a third from the top and a third from the
bottom.  I am at my wits end.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have also
tried different boards and LCD panels to make sure it wasn't that.
Once again, thanks in advance.

The correct syntax would be:

printf("\\\n");

The problem you're having is that the '\' character is a special character
and needs to be escaped. The newline is also a special character and needs
to be escaped. In your example, which one is being escaped??? The correct
way is to escape them both.

Hope this helps-

I am having a problem with this line:
printf("\\n");

It is print some strange ASCII character that looks like an upside down
broom and I need it to print just a "\" (minus the parenths of course).  I
have also tried
this:
int d;
d=92;
printf("%c",d);
I still get the same result.
I am using IC 2.81.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
