I think another way is to use the following command:
$ od -cx
^[[3~
$

I just noted that the corresponding control sequence is even different
under the same shell, but if you use the "vi" or "emacs" edition command
line mode.

Maybe is it possible to set the control sequence via stty(1) - like it is
possible to do for the 'erase' sequence - but i don't succeed in this way
for the moment.
