On this <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/ANSI_002dC-Quoting.html> page of Bash documentation, it is mentioned that to type an ASCII character we can write it in its octal notation. However, there is a mistake here. The documentation says that the character must be written as `\nnn` where "nnn" are octal digits. The actual working requires that we type as `\0nnn` where "nnn" are octal digits. Without the `\0` "nnn" isn't recognised as an octal representation. Please fix this error.
