[Detailed description of the problem, suggestion, or complaint.]

interpretation.
./bash -c "echo \^A\[bs\]"

Please note the backslash remains. It should return ^A[bs].
Note in comparison that
./bash -c "echo \^B\[bs\]"
returns
^B[bs]
as expected.
Repeat-By:
./bash -c "echo \^A\[bs\]"
where ^A is the ASCII character \001
