those are switching character-sets (i.e., "\E(B", "\E)1" and "\E(0").  The
sense is that the last character is a predefined code, and the "(" and ")"
designate G0 and G1 (the character sets that are "normal" and "alternate").

The actual ones you need depend on the terminal emulator & how close it is to
ANSI/ISO.  I looked a little at kterm and don't think its extensions fit
into any standard.  Xterm's controls are more/less documented in ctlseqs.ms
(which I updated for XFree86 though I've not memorized it).  Look in my
ftp area for xterm to get a copy.

For kterm, probably none - it's not documented clearly, but reading the
code, there's a couple of comments that indicate that alternate character
sets got broken so they could implement mbcs, using a couple of codes to
mean different things.
