Thanks to both of you for this suggested simplification

The only character you need to escape in the whole sequence is the
backslash. You only have to escape a $ if it precedes a { to disambiguate
from a variable dereference.
This works for me:
$ cat w.cmake
file(WRITE "w.txt" "$'\\r'")
$ cmake -P w.cmake
$ cat w.txt
$'\r'

Is there an easier way to write this literal string to a file that I missed?
