ETX

    (Or ETX, End of Text) The ASCII character with
   code 3.

   Control-C is the interrupt character used on many operating
   systems, including Unix and MS-DOS to abort a running
   program.

   Among BSD Unix hackers, the canonical humorous response
   to "Give me a break!" is "Control C".
