I would expect you could just use the wireless-wpa example and write the key as Key=\"<encrypted_PSK>.
The comments above the Key='WirelessKey' line in that example file do need to be improved. Suggestions are welcome.

I must have looked over this when viewing the examples, I adjusted my configs and also the Arch Wiki. How about something like this since at the bottom of man 5 netctl.profile it discusses these methods with additional examples.

ESSID='MyNetwork'

Hexidecimal keys use non-quoted method "<encrypted_psk>

Keys starting with " , use quoted string method. '""""'

Key='WirelessKey'

Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden

#Hidden=yes

Also, when explaining '""""'
if Key="WirelessKey (literally) .. Would this expressed Key='""WirelessKey"' ?

In example/wireless-wpa it states if starts with "
then it should be written '"""" which would be expressed in the profile: Key='""""WirelessKey"'
I think you may have meant '""' since " would be part of ; shown as Key='""WirelessKey"'

This last point is the main reason (for me) these lines should be improved. Your observation is correct (one double quote too much), but this more or less means the comments should come with examples to avoid confusion. We should probably also refer to the manpage section.
