Okay, so to create a ^M for an eol in the shell, you hit ctrl-v then ctrl-m.

What would be the best way to represent that in a do shell script command, as "^M" is just two characters?

The "return" constant in AppleScript is actually ASCII character 13. So this:

set x to (do shell script "echo " & return & " | cat -v")
display dialog x

pops up a dialog reading ^M on my system.
