As Visual Basic doesn’t have an escape sequence LibreOffice Basic doesn’t have one neighter. So find out the Unicode code point for the character and use ChrW to convert it to the character. On Windows you can use charmap.exe to find out the Unicode code point or have a look here.
For example, for the Copyright sign (U+00A9) you’d write:
Dim Copyright AS String Copyright = Chr(&H00A9) ... Cell.String = "Copyright sign: " & Copyright ..

Download the File Explorer Command File from here and move it to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.
