I need to replace ^Q, ^S and ^U in a text file with Ubuntu. These are ctrl+Q and not carat+Q . Since ^Q is a control key command, I cannot type that in and carat+Q does not work. Is there anyway to type in ^Q ^S and ^U

There’s an escape sequence for this.
For ^Q type Ctrl+V Ctrl+Q. On some system you have to type the code for it, eg: Ctrl+V 017.
