Ctrl-space seems to work.  Try

od -xc

and then press Ctrl-space a few times, followed by some characters,
ENTER and Ctrl-D.  Here's what happens when I enter the
characters

    a a Ctrl-space Ctrl-space Ctrl-space Ctrl-space z <cr> ^D

$ od -xc
aaz
0000000 6161 0000 0000 0a7a
           a   a  \0  \0  \0  \0   z  \n
