I came across this piece of text in my console output:

I:\u001b[2DA_O_T:\u001b[40C = -0.0

I know that I: and A_O_T: as well as = -0.0 is normal output so I conclude that \u001b[2D and \u001b[40C are escape sequences.

But I couldnt figure out what they do. I looked them up here: http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php but couldn't find a match.

Does anyone know what 2D and 40C do in an escape sequence?

`\u001b` represents Esc. – melpomene Sep 12 '17 at 07:30
@melpomene jeah I know that. Thats why you call it "Escape sequences". – Fuzzyma Sep 12 '17 at 07:32
"Esc[ValueD **Cursor Backward:**" – melpomene Sep 12 '17 at 07:35
Ah, okay - now I get it. So 40C is cursor forward. Thanks! – Fuzzyma Sep 12 '17 at 07:36
