using echo command, the variable display all rows in single line i.e. it loses the format.

Is there any other command that displays the text exactly multil-lined and that can run on all above mentioned platforms.

Always quote variables when referencing their values:

Code:
echo "$var"

Due to the inconsistencies between different versions of echo, printf is a better choice:

Code:
printf "%s\n" "$var"
