Ctrl+D to close Ncat?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but it seems valid to me. I just discovered Ncat as a way to manually send short text commands from my new Linux machine to the 20 year old microcomputer that runs my off-grid house. Nowhere in the User's Guide, man pages, or Google searches could I find any clues about the proper way to manually close my raw TCP session! 

After 45 minutes of searching, I found one "superuser" answer suggesting Ctrl+D was the proper way to close a netcat session. Tried it here on Ncat and it seems to do the same thing as Ctrl+C. Is one or the other preferable? 

I don't, but if I needed to send Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D to the remote host, is there a way? 

Is there a reason the close procedure is such a mystery? 

Thanks,

Loren
