One possibility is to use the --r7rs command-line option:
https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Options.html#Options-for-language-selection
You can escape a colon either by surrounding it with vertical bars,
or by prefixing it with a backslash (both methods come from Common Lisp):
'|ab:cd| (or 'ab|:|cd) or 'ab\:cd
