That depends upon whether you are running emacs in a graphics window
or in a terminal window. If in a graphics window then emacs can tell
that you are pressing Control + 6 individually. But in a terminal
window then Control+6 produces C-^ instead and sends that to emacs.
And the rest produce a variety of other results. Control+2 produces
C-@. Control+3 produces ESC. And so forth for the rest.
