I don't think they're available in gvim either. I just pulled up
gvim (GTK2, v7.2 on Debian Linux) and tried several
unconventional control+{nonalpha char} mapping combinations and
had hit-or-miss results. If I mapped them by issuing control+V
followed by the character in question, several worked (such as
control+backslash, control+at and control+caret) though I believe
they have ASCII equivs. None of the other punctuation characters
(comma, period, colon, semicolon, quote, apostrophe, and most of
the other characters over the digits on my US keyboard) worked
with a literal mapping. Also, none of the attempts to use the
"<c-foo>" notation worked for me such as "<c-bslash>" or "<c-^>"
(both of which worked in mappings created using control+V).
