Special Characters
ASCII Hex (~nn) - ASCII hex characters can be sent by sending
the hex code preceded by a ~(tilde, hex 7E). For example,
to send an M character in hex, send a ~4D.
Tilde and Caret Characters (~~ ^^) - To send a ~ (tilde, hex 7E)
or ^ (caret, hex 5E) character, send the character twice.
For example a ~~ will send the key codes for the ASCII
character ~.
