That's in Normal mode. In Insert/Replace and Command-line modes, Ctrl-V 
is Literalize (see :h i_CTRL-V and :h i_CTRL-V_digit). In addition, in 
the GUI if you follow it with a special key, the latter will be shown in 
<> notation. A more general way to show special keys in <> notation is 
to prefix them by Ctrl-K instead, but if you try Ctrl-K with a printing 
key, Vim will usually wait for the second part of a |digraph|.

Best regards,
Tony.

YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY: a matrix wrench and 60,000 feet of tram
cable.

IF ANYTHING IS DAMAGED OR MISSING: You IMMEDIATELY should turn to your
spouse and say: "Margaret, you know why this country can't make a car
that can get all the way through the drive-through at Burger King
without a major transmission overhaul?  Because nobody cares, that's
why."

WARNING: This is assuming your spouse's name is Margaret.
