An alternative might be something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
SQ="'"
echo "${SQ}A<C1${SQ}, C2${SQ} ,C3${SQ} ,C4${SQ} ,C5${SQ},O1 ,......"

Result: OSAX 10.14.3, default [bash/]shell terminal.
Code:
bazza@amiga-MacBookPro:~$ cd Desktop/Code/Shell
bazza@amiga-MacBookPro:~/Desktop/Code/Shell$ chmod 755 Single_Quote.sh
bazza@amiga-MacBookPro:~/Desktop/Code/Shell$ ./Single_Quote.sh
'A<C1', C2' ,C3' ,C4' ,C5',O1 ,......
bazza@amiga-MacBookPro:~/Desktop/Code/Shell$
