Cavaet for non-cygwin users: Keep in mind that the C-V
will only work with ANSI escape sequences (which
Cygwin produces in its "command line" windows. C-V will
not work for all terminals (or their emulators) -
especially VT52, Hazeltine, ...
Most MS-Windows users can ignore the above warning.

PS: 'od -c' merely outputs the "character" equivalents
of its input. So, pressing the Home key, followed by C-d
(control-d) after entering the 'od -c' command will result
in something like:
0000000 033 [ 1 ~ \n
Telling you that "Escape" (033) "[" "1" "~" "newline"
was entered. But you probably already knew that.
