it works!
thank you!
Mark Ovens also answered me and he suggested: ^Xcc   where cc is the
hex code of the character.   
It is more suitable because my X terminal is pretty weird and cannot
understand what a "alt-xxx" code is.  Nevertheless it worked in the
FreeBSD console.

Thank you Kent!
Thank you Mark!
