Well, the reason that B_CONTROL_KEY uses a ^ character is because that
is what proceeds control characters in terminal like ^H. We could use
MODIFIER LETTER UP ARROWHEAD (0xcb84) (˄) to make it look a little
different or maybe INCREMENT (0xe28886) (∆) or maybe we could use
something generic like a bullet or a square. There are lots of unicode
symbols to choose from, look through Character Map and suggest
something you like.
We could use TELEPHONE LOCATION SIGN (0xe29c86) ✆ to harken back to
the days of yore when you would send control characters over a
terminal using a telephone line.
Suggest something.
