If that is the custom, the custom is wrong.  '$' does not mean newline,
it means a separator between components of attributes with certain
syntaxes.  It has no special meaning in ordinary string attributes.
The choice is between representing the text as a "list of strings"
- with $ between them and \ as escape character, or to represent
it as a straightforward string with newlines.

That said, now that I think of it I suspect the correct
representation of line shift in LDAP is CR LF, not just LF.
But I don't know Unicode that well.
