The "" characters are used in a DN to implement platform-specific DN syntaxes. Microsoft uses it for implementing the "GUID" and "SID" DN syntaxes, which look like this: These can be used interchangeably in LDAP with the "normal" DN, as they are just different versions of the same thing. It may be possible to escape these characters by using the hex value, but I think you would be best off if you didn't include them at all. You will just be opening yourself up to a world of programming misery when you have to deal with the objects you have created.
