<Ctrl-v>
Quotes a nonprinting character.
More details:
In vi:
i (for insert mode), or a (append mode)
Ctl-V (Control-V, to escape next char)
ESC (Escape Key, F11 on DEC keyboards), inserts what looks like ^[
more literal text
ESC (leaves insert or append mode)
:w (writes file)
:q (leaves vi)
(I know this message in UNIX, ALWAYS check the MAN pages, FIRST!!!!)
