Is there any other setting/configuration that we can do in syslog to interpret escape characters and print newline characters (\n) properly?
Not in Solaris 10 or earlier syslog.

PERROR(2) System Calls Manual PERROR(2)
NAME
perror, syslog - system error messages
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
void perror(char *s)
void syslog(int cons, char *logname, char *fmt, ...)
DESCRIPTION
Perror produces a short error message on the standard error file describing the last error encountered during a call to the system. First
the argument string s is printed, then a colon, then the message and a newline. If s is 0, only the error message and newline are printed.
Syslog logs messages in the file named by logname in the directory /sys/log; the file must already exist and should be append-only. Log-
name must contain no slashes. The message is a line with several fields: the name of the machine writing the message; the date and time;
the message specified by the print(2) format fmt and any following arguments; and a final newline. If cons is set or the log file cannot
be opened, the message is also printed on the system console. Syslog can be used safely in multi-threaded programs.
SOURCE
/sys/src/libc/port/perror.c
/sys/src/libc/9sys/syslog.c
SEE ALSO
intro(2), errstr(2), the %r format in print(2)
BUGS
Perror is a holdover; the %r format in print(2) is preferred.
