Thanks.When you say "input", do you mean to *insert* them as chars into a buffer? If so, just hit C-q first. But I don't think you should do this too often (?).
Yes, why would someone use this? The only thing that I use is the "form feed" (^L) to divide sections in plain text documents and then be able to use C-x [ and C-x ] to move between pages.
Does someone know of any other "control character" use? Best, -- Jorge.
