Use "\C-\\" , [(control ?\\)] , [(control \\)] or (kbd "C-\\") .

Use "\C-ci" , [(control ?c) ?i] , [(control c) ?i] or (kbd "C-c i") .

You can verify what keystrokes those expressions mean by evaluating:

(key-description [(control ?c) ?i])
 => "C-c i"

Note that `gnus-article-mode-hook' is run only when the article
buffer is created.  So, you may want to kill the article buffer
manually in advance to check if the hook functions work.
