writing in file through shell script without using echo command

Question

I want to write some thing in a file through a shell script but inside the script I don't want to use the echo command to write in file.

Are there other ways to write in a file without using echo command?

Lots.

printf "foo" > somefile

cat > somefile << EOF
foo
EOF

bash allows:

cat > somefile <<< "foo"
