^ is the Control key, so ^A is C-a in Emacs'
"human" notation.
\[ is the Meta key, so ^[m is M-m.
When you say "input", do you mean to *insert* them as
chars into a buffer? If so, just hit C-q first.
But I don't think you should do this too often (?).
If you mean input them as keystrokes, just hit the
Control and Meta keys, of course :)
