Everything works fine, this symbol is called carriage return and it's used to reset a cursor position.

So what your script is doing:

  1. print a line
  2. print a line and reset cursor position
  3. print a line again

You see this behaviour only while running a script in console.

The better way to have a new line symbol in your code is to use a special constant PHP_EOL as it will use a proper sequence (\r or \n\r or \n) depending on a running platform.

Use 

<?php
print "hello";
print " hai \r\n";
print "bro";
?>

For a new line.
