The End-of-Text character (ETX) is a control character used to inform the receiving computer that the end of a record has been reached. This may or may not be an indication that all of the data in a record have been received. It is often used in conjunction with Start of Text (STX)[1] and Data Link Escape (DLE), e.g., to distinguish data frames in the data link layer. All this use is pretty much obsolete, except in modem communication (AT command set).[2]
In both ASCII and EBCDIC, ETX is code point 0x03, often displayed as <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />^C, and a (ASCII) terminal can send it by typing Template:Keypress.
Control-C is often used to interrupt a program or process, a standard that started with Dec operating systems.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In TOPS-20, it was used to gain the system's attention before logging in. mIRC uses ETX as the escape character to start a command to set the color.
