There are two steps to fix this.
First find out what your terminal is sending emacs. This can be done right inside emacs by hitting C-q then the combination you want to see, say C-⇒ or something.
Then in your .emacs, you can bind the combination to whatever you want. For example, if you want C-⇒ to go to the next word, you can use
(global-set-key "<your combination here>" 'forward-word). Do the same for the other bindings.
