Why does "\024" mean `C-t'? (in bindkey example in man page)

Hello,
The GNU screen man page states:
bindkey "\024" mapdefault
This keybinding makes `C-t' an escape character for keybindings.
My 'ascii' man page shows that octal 024 is Device Control 4:
Oct Dec Hex Char
024 20 14 DC4 (device control 4)
And that "T" is octal 124:
Oct Dec Hex Char
124 84 54 T
I tried binding something to \024 and when I press Control-T I get that
something.
Why is \024 control-T rather than \124, please?
Best,
Aleksey
