Easiest is probably:

i<C-v>(char)<ESC>ga

Stepwise, that's:
i - enter insert mode
<C-v> - enter literal character [ :help i_CTRL-V ]
(char) - type whatever character you want (e.g. ctrl-i)
<ESC> - exit insert mode
ga - get ASCII value [ :help ga ]

For ctrl-i for example, the bottom of the screen reads:
<^I> 9, Hex 09, Octal 011

(Ctrl-i is synonymous with <Tab>)
