Just run cat, and push the function key. On my system F1 comes out at
"^[OP". Replace ^[ with escape.

Just be warned that there are different standards. xterm might be
different to console, different xterms might be different, etc (at
least they were in Linux last I tried).

Also there is this mode (which unfortunately I suspect is obsolete
because it breaks UTF-8 compatibility), copied from the xterm man
page:

       eightBitInput (class EightBitInput)
               If "true", Meta characters (a single-byte character  combined
               with  the  keys  modifier key) input from the keyboard are pre-
               sented as a single character with the  eighth  bit  turned  on.
               The  terminal is put into 8-bit mode.  If "false", Meta char-
               acters are converted into a  two-character  sequence  with  the
               character  itself  preceded by ESC.  On startup, xterm tries to
               put the terminal into 7-bit mode.  The metaSendsEscape resource
               may override this.  The default is "true."
