Quoting Andrew Morgan <morgan at orst.edu>:

>    Distinguished Name, a backslash quoting mechanism is used to escape
>    the following separator symbol character (such as "'", "$" or "#") if
>    it should occur in that string.  The backslash is followed by a pair
>    of hexadecimal digits representing the next character.  A backslash
>    itself in the string which forms part of a larger syntax is always
>    transmitted as '\5C' or '\5c'. An example is given in section 6.27.
