there is no way to print the NUL byte with the echo utility

with dash (XSI, no -e argument):

   $ dash -c 'echo \\0 | od -An -c'

This is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379227, which did get fixed already, but it was after 0.5.8. That should mean it will be in the next release of dash, but you can check out the sources from Git if you want to see it now.

Cheers,
