printf("%c", 0) prints a null byte. putchar('\n') prints a newline.
What's the problem?
You can't have an embedded null character in a format string or in a
string pointed by an argument corresponding to a "%s" format, but apart
from that fprintf and fscanf certainly can deal with zero bytes and
newline. It's not common to use fprintf with a binary stream, but it's
well defined. (I'm assuming that you're really referring to fprintf and
fscanf, and not literally to printf and scanf which work with stdout and
stdin, which are opened in text mode.)
