GNU stty can list and change special terminal characters. This consists of two parts: printing and changing them. Printing is done in the following format:

intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

and the following arguments change these characters:

Special characters:
 * discard CHAR  CHAR will toggle discarding of output
   eof CHAR      CHAR will send an end of file (terminate the input)
   eol CHAR      CHAR will end the line
 * eol2 CHAR     alternate CHAR for ending the line
   erase CHAR    CHAR will erase the last character typed
   intr CHAR     CHAR will send an interrupt signal
   kill CHAR     CHAR will erase the current line
 * lnext CHAR    CHAR will enter the next character quoted
   quit CHAR     CHAR will send a quit signal
 * rprnt CHAR    CHAR will redraw the current line
   start CHAR    CHAR will restart the output after stopping it
   stop CHAR     CHAR will stop the output
   susp CHAR     CHAR will send a terminal stop signal
 * swtch CHAR    CHAR will switch to a different shell layer
