Just as the image for '[' is a vertical line on the left and two short
horizontal lines at top and bottom, the image for Esc is a small left
arrow. If you want Esc to not be displayed, but rather to perform a
control action, you'll need a terminal or terminal driver that does that
special handling for Esc. As you see, not all do. Some versions of DOS
and Windows allow you to run Ansi.sys and get the Ansi control effect you
want. Not all.
