Answer 1

To quote verbatim strings in Powershell, just use single quotes:

'D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)'

Answer 2

You don't need a verbatim string modifier in PowerShell since backslashes are literals (and quotes are escaped by doubling).

For a multiline string, use

$x = @"
"
Curiouser 
and 
curiouser
!
"
"@

The keyword I was missing was verbatim:
