CTRL G means to hold down the CTRL (control) key and press the g key,
just like you'd hold down shift and g to type G.

Character A is character sixty-five in ASCII.  To "type" it you'd
normally just press the A character on the keyboard.  To get some
program to output it, you've got various ways you can achieve it:

      * Output the character A.
      * Output the decimal number 65, representing A.
      * Output the hexadecimal number 41, representing A.
      * Output the octal number 100, representing A.

Normally, on Fedora Core you're producing UTF-8 text from a console, but
it's identical to ASCII for the first 128 characters.  So, this text, as
I've typed it in the message can be represented by ASCII, ISO-8859-1,
and UTF-8 encoded unicode.  They're all interchangeable, at this point.
