    If you are getting "c%" from

    printf("%c\%",'c');
    as compiled by your compiler, don't count on the same results from all compilers. By using "\%", you are in an "undefined" area of the C language. From H&S:

    If the character following the backslash is neither an octal digit, the letter x, nor one of the character escape codes (i.e., n t b r f v \ ' " a ?), the result is undefined.
