Is there something strange about my keyboard or terminal?  If I hold
down the control key and press six, the character sometimes written as
^^ is sent.  If I hold down the control key and hold down the shift key
and press six, the character is not sent.

Thus if I was telling someone how to type it, I would certainly choose
"Control 6", not to mention that to me "up arrow" suggests cursor
movement, which on this terminal is ^[OA.
