(By the way, the independant actions "ctrl shift" and "shift ctrl"
[with no other keystrokes attached] toggle many Chinese input methods
here... I will expect it to conflict with XCIN in the next emacs... ?)

I found another, C-^, I wish they would stick to ASCII.
I don't think it's to safe to assign this:
        
(defcustom terminal-escape-char ?\C-^
  "*All characters except for this are passed verbatim through the
terminal-emulator.  This character acts as a prefix for commands
to the emulator program itself.  Type this character twice to send
it through the emulator.  Type ? after typing it for a list of
possible commands.
This variable is local to each terminal-emulator buffer."

Indeed, one would think that one would need terminal-emulator most
when one is on a simpler terminal and even lacks C-^ further...
