How about using heredocs? IMHO more compatible way of echo/printf "" for new
lines:
cat << EOF
...
EOF

I should have noted that at previous version.
Hint: looking into tst_test.sh can sometimes help.

Also there is echo/printf '' variant:
cat << 'EOF'
EOF
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/462593/how-to-escape-a-character-in-a-heredoc-bash-script/462595#462595

There is also ~EOF - ignore leading whitespace, even for terminating EOF.

Kind regards,
Petr
