ASCII characters roughly below 20 are largely control character. Backspace is a control character. Carriage return is technically a control character. There are CSV like form field characters. Escape is another non-printable ASCII character.
ANSI escape sequences do also include control codes but there’s plenty in ASCII too.
Frankly, you only need to spend 30 seconds looking at an ASCII table to see this.

- fsckboy 3y agosorry, but ASCII is ANSI, so the ASCII control characters are ANSI characters, and I didn't even mention "ANSI's escape sequences" which are an escape from ASCII's single character meanings, but use the ASCII ESC character as it was intended, to escape within the ASCII framework. ANSI makes people think about controlling devices and ASCII also controls devices (not to mention bidirectional comms) so I think it's a good way to think of it. Since we've all read the docs, but a bunch of you are laboring under misimpressions, I'm trying to say things in an unusual but truthful way to be the iceberg to the titanic of misunderstanding that thinks the BEL character doesn't belong in ANSI's ASCII protocol
