For example, in my xterm to get:
000: Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+@
001: Ctrl+A
002: Ctrl+B
003: Ctrl+C
004: Ctrl+D
005: Ctrl+E
006: Ctrl+F
007: Ctrl+G
008: Ctrl+H
009: Ctrl+I or Tab
010: Ctrl+J or Ctrl+M or Enter
011: Ctrl+K
012: Ctrl+L
013: can't find any.
014: Ctrl+N
015: Ctrl+O
016: Ctrl+P
017: Ctrl+Q
018: Ctrl+R
019: Ctrl+S
020: Ctrl+T
021: Ctrl+U
022: Ctrl+V
023: Ctrl+W
024: Ctrl+X
025: Ctrl+Y
026: Ctrl+Z
027: Ctrl+[ or Esc
028: Ctrl+
029: Ctrl+]
030: Ctrl+^
031: Ctrl+_ or Ctrl+/
Characters from 032 to 127, inclusively, are all printable, but there are some that can be referred in multiple ways using either Ctrl, Shift or Alt or a combination of those.
Then there are characters from 128 to something I don't know.
Test script:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import curses
import os
def main(stdscr):
curses.raw()
while True:
stdscr.addstr(0, 0, str(stdscr.getch()))
stdscr.refresh()
if __name__ == "__main__":
os.environ.setdefault('ESCDELAY', '0')
curses.wrapper(main)

AFAIK, in Xterm (or any decent terminal emulator) <U+000D> is^M(Control-M) or <Enter>. You don't have to set any environment variable to make <Esc> or^[produce <U+001B>. To test, startvim, enter insert mode (i) and press^V<Esc>; you will get an <U+001B> instantly. Also, you can extend your table to <U+001F>:^,^],^^,^_(that is, control-], control-^and control-_). This has been so since the beginning of time, when terminals where real pieces of hardware.
