Please look at ascii table to see why ctrl-{key} sends a corresponding control code and why the modifier is called “control”: https://www.commfront.com/pages/ascii-chart

The article explained it well enough. Makes sense, I just was unaware. From that chart though then could ^` generate a NULL byte?

The chart also lists the control key combination for each control byte, for NUL, it's C-@.
