Can't use "(" character in a sysenv variable

PlatformIO IDE

Hello,
I am on Debian.
My wifi SSID password has a “(“ character. Password included thanks to a build flag.
The only way I can compile is using :
build_flags = -D’SSID = ‘${sysenv.WIFI_SSID} -D’PASSWD = ‘${sysenv.WIFI_PASSWD}
with export WIFI_PASSWD=’"MYPASS(WORD"’
(see the way I use the ’ character), instead of : build_flags = -DSSID=${sysenv.WIFI_SSID} -DPASSWD=${sysenv.WIFI_PASSWD} which gives an error :

“Building in release mode
Compiling .pio/build/esp32-s3-devkitc-1/src/main.c.o
sh: 1: Syntax error: “(” unexpected
Generating LD script .pio/build/esp32-s3-devkitc-1/esp-idf/esp_system/ld/memory.ld.in
*** [.pio/build/esp32-s3-devkitc-1/src/main.c.o] Error 2”

Even escaping the character ( does not work.

OK, it works, but I do not understand why.

How did you escape it? The documentation gives an example

I read this several times before, and escaped this way:

export WIFI_PASSWD='\"MYPASS\(WORD\"'

Always the same error message.
