Use of ^char:
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value
of char is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between
0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z, then the
character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If the character is any other
value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string
“Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Literal characters:
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not
subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. Examples:
