 According to "man ascii", \012 is a newline. What made you think it was
 a control-C? A hint is that control-A is "\001".

 If you use the vi or vim editors, you can enter a true control character
 in a file by typing control-V followed by control-whatever. I do this
 instead of trying to guess what numeric code it might be. (Note that I
 have my own print script that does "cat -v" at the beginning of a
 pipeline so that when I read the code from a printout I clearly see all
 control characters.)
