It is probably the <escape> key, ascii 27. This syntax usually is telling a terminal (emulator) or printer to do something special.
Each device has its own 'escape sequence' language, as such, that tells it to do different things. The sequence of characters that follow the <ESC> character are very specific instructions for that particular device. For example, move the cursor to a specific row and column on the screen, or change the characters per inch on the printer to 10. I cannot tell by this code alone what it is trying to do.
