Well, I don't know what terminal you are talking about, but generally
everything that aims to emulate a VT220 should have this mapping,
because the actual DEC VT220 did (does). Personally, although I
don't care much about ctrl-4, I mostly use ctrl-3 to enter ^[ and
get upset when it isn't available.

Here's the main keymap (plain, +shift, +control) of a VT220 with
LK201 keyboard, set to US English, taken from the actual terminal:


    `   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   0   -   =   DEL
    TAB   q   w   e   r   t   y   u   i   o   p   [   ]   |
    CTRL   a   s   d   f   g   h   j   k   l   ;   '  ENTER
    SHFT <   z   x   c   v   b   n   m   ,   .   /   SHFT
         COMP              SPACE

    ~   !   @   #   $   %   ^   &   *   (   )   _   +    ^X
    ^[[Z  Q   W   E   R   T   Y   U   I   O   P   {   }   \
    CTRL   A   S   D   F   G   H   J   K   L   :   "  ENTER
    SHFT >   Z   X   C   V   B   N   M   <   >   ?   SHFT 
         COMP              SPACE

    ^^      ^@  ^[  ^\  ^]  ^^  ^_  ^?                   ^X
    TAB  ^Q  ^W  ^E  ^R  ^T  ^Y  ^U  ^I  ^O  ^P  ^[  ^]  ^\
    CTRL  ^A  ^S  ^D  ^F  ^G  ^H  ^J  ^K  ^L          ENTER
    SHFT    ^Z  ^X  ^C  ^V  ^B  ^N  ^M          ^_   SHFT
         COMP               ^@
