How did you determine that they're ^@? If you used less or vi or some
other pager, chances are that they're really NULs.
I just looked at the ascii manpage (man ascii) and here's another bit of
trivia: A is 0x41, B is 0x42, @ is 0x40. SOH (chr(1)) is 0x1, STX
(chr(2)) is 0x2, and NUL is 0x0. So your control characters are
represented by an ascii character of their value + 0x40 (with CTRL, of
course)
