I have a co-worker who is trying to add the ^1 to his vi file as a single character. Can this be done? I have searched and searched but do not see a way to do it.
I know how to get such things in the file as ^M or ^H etc etc but does anyone know how to get ^1 in the file using VIM?
I have just started this job and they are just now updating servers etc and some of the code they use is pre-historic (LOL). I am told they used to be able to do this with an EDT editor.

And what OS/environment was that in?

Ctrl-1 to me bears no meaning.
