Well I am using an Azerty Keyboard as I type this :

ctrl-$ will not work. simple as that.

See the enter key ? well from the top of the enter key, go two keys to the left. et voila. no CTRL no nothing. just press it and ^

see ? magic.

they're not actually trying to type the hat (^) character. In this instance, for example, the notation ^c would equal ctrl+c. – SimonJGreen Jan 12 at 22:06
I confirm ^] in telnet is one character, not two. – Sylario Jan 13 at 13:38

Two to the left of Backspace by the looks of it:

QWERTY vs. AZERTY

Edit

I've just read elsewhere that it's ctrl+$ on AZERTY, which makes sense as it's the same physical placement. (http://www.madrouter.com/pemu-pix-emulation-and-dynamips/ then ctrl+f "AZERTY")

No, I'm on Azerty myself and have tried numerous combinations. This one does not work :). Mind the ^. Would love to know though... – Bart De Vos Jan 12 at 12:02

I finally found it, to input the special character '^]', and i insist on the fact that it is ONE character, on a linux ubuntu (may work on other distrib, does not work on windows) you have to press AltGR+Ctrl+]

] is on the key with those 3 characters : °)].

It will not work at all time, i know it works in telnet but on the terminal it print nothing.

I am told that, on a french azerty keyboard you need to press the key to the right of the p, but it should not be before a vowel - if it is, press it twice, and it should work
