How do you know that it "recognizes as bad char"?

Show the code.

client_cmd(me, "echo MAP++;") - never got output MAP++;. Only get MAP++

; recognizes as bad char - written wrongly, it doesnt give the output properly

If you mean control character, in pawn by default it's '\'
In amxx, it's '^', because \ is already used a lot in HL, for exemple in menus.
You can change it to what you want, see page 119 : http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/Pawn_Language_Guide.pdf

If i've misunderstood, and if you want to execute more than 1 command in a player console for example, then you can use ';'

No, I dnt wanna exec multiple commands on clients, that was just a quick example.

I would like to print MAP++; to console.

And ty for the link but I already checked this, was trying to find specific escape chars only for amxx

You have to put quotes around it. The console recognizes ; as a command separator.

Code:

client_cmd(id, "echo ^"MAP++;^"");
