1In general, a control-letter combo translates into the letter's ASCII value minus the 0x40 bit (ie, the control character in the same row of the ASCII table). So control-] is the Group Separator control character -- 0x1D. How you get that on an Azerty keyboard, though, I haven't a clue. – Daniel R Hicks – 2014-12-02T13:04:48.950

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 prints nothing.

Also works for some QWERTY non-English keyboards. – MV. – 2015-09-07T22:41:58.310

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 – 2012-01-12T12:02:12.000

1This also works on a Finnish qwerty keyboard, which doesn't have a separate ] key (it's AltGr-9). – Rennex – 2017-04-12T22:02:16.270

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.

2they're not actually trying to type the hat (^) character. In this instance, for example, the notation ^c would equal ctrl+c. – SimonJGreen – 2012-01-12T22:06:52.660

2I confirm ^] in telnet is one character, not two. – Sylario – 2012-01-13T13:38:00.717

Using Azerty keyboard, in most cases I use 'Ctrl'+'$' or 'Ctrl'+'c' or 'Ctrl'+'d'. If does not work I google for alternatives.

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
