And this newly installed /usr/bin/emacs might follow down the sym-link…

There are two areas: one in the preferences of the Apple Terminal, the other by
choosing a value for the environment variable TERM – although the latter is
rather meant for the software running in that terminal to tell it how to make
sense of the ANSI and non-ANSI Esc sequences produced in that terminal.

Not exactly. The GUI application will know that some modifier key(s) is/are
pressed when a key event happens.

Which is one byte of the hex value 0x1 or octal \001 or decimal 1 (while the
figure 1 has an ASCII value of 49 [o61, x31]).
