There is no "hex number." TeraTerm (emulating a VT220 probably)
generates a series of keys (^[ is ESC, or 0x1b, [ is a square bracket,
0x5b, 2 is the number 2, 0x32, and the tilde means done with this string,
0x73).  The curses library interprets the incoming characters as a single
token to pass to Lynx code.
