The data link escape character was intended to be a signal to the other end of a data link that the following character is a control character such as STX or ETX. For example a packet may be structured in the following way <STX> <PAYLOAD> <ETX>.
Control-C is often used to interrupt a program or process, a standard that started with Dec operating systems. [citation needed] In TOPS-20, it was used to gain the system's attention before logging in. mIRC uses ETX as the escape character to start a command to set the color.
Used with Template:chset-tableformat to indicate a table cell for a control character or non-printing punctuation character. Parameter 1: hhhh , Hexadecimal Unicode value, 4 digits (e.g., 0020 ) Parameter 2: XX , Character name (e.g., SP ), with link to appropriate article
In the BASICODE format, the recording of programs is analogous to the recording of data. So, when recording programs, the commands are not read and written in the form of single byte units , but character by character. A data block begins with the character 02 (STX, start of text), and ends with the character 03 (ETX, end of text).
In Unicode, characters can have a unique name. A character can also have one or more alias names. An alias name can be an abbreviation, a C0 or C1 control name, a correction, an alternate name or a figment. An alias too is unique over all names and aliases, and therefore identifying.

Until the early 1990s, many programs and data transmission channels were character-oriented and treated some characters, e.g., ETX, as control characters.Others assumed a stream of seven-bit characters, with values between 0 and 127; for example, the ASCII standard used only seven bits per character, avoiding an 8-bit representation in order to save on data transmission costs.
