Maybe use [n]curses' keyname() function?

<quote src="man 3 keyname">

  char *keyname(int c);

  The  keyname  routine returns a character string corresponding to the
  key c.  Control characters are displayed in the ^X notation.  Values
  above 128 are either meta characters, shown in the  M-X  notation, or
  the names of function keys, or null.  The corresponding key_name
  returns a character string corresponding to the wide-character value
  w.  The two functions  do  not return the  same  set  of strings; the
  latter returns null where the former would display a meta character.
