The function write-char output to an output stream; by default,
it outputs to the string "in the minibuffer".  It outputs control
characters the same way they display in the buffer.

The development version of GNU Emacs has send-string-to-terminal.
If you need it and don't want to wait for the next distribution,
insert the following code into dispnew.c

DEFUN ("send-string-to-terminal", Fsend_string_to_terminal,
  Ssend_string_to_terminal, 1, 1, 0,
  "Send STRING to the terminal without alteration.\n\
Control characters in STRING will have terminal-dependent effects.")
  (str)
     Lisp_Object str;
{
  CHECK_STRING (str, 0);
  fwrite (XSTRING (str)->data, 1, XSTRING (str)->size, stdout);
  fflush (stdout);
  return Qnil;
}


You must also add
  defsubr (&Ssend_string_to_terminal);
in syms_of_dispnew
