just in to explain this clearer, and forgive me if this is basic for you, it caught me up the first time I saw it myself.

"Hello World"
returns

Hello World

other methods of writing this could also be...

Hello%20World
\x48\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F\x20\x57\x6F\x72\x6C\x64
or in your paradigm
$48,$65,$6C,$6C,$6F,$20,$57,$6F,$72,$6C,$64

so, lets say you wanted to send a space or " ", or %20, or \x20, or $20

if you send "$20" the target is going to receive
$20
not the space that you originally intended.

if the $cc escape character construct is true, then perhaps your solution is as easy as getting rid of the quotation marks? can't say for sure until I know what platform your writing for.
