Most commands were tied to the first level keys directly. C-f for
Forward, C-b for Backward, C-n for Next, C-p for previous and so
forth. But eventually you run out of mnemonics and just have to pick
a key for it. But for the eXtended key set C-x was used.
You can find this in the emacs tutorial.
C-x Character eXtend. Followed by one character.
M-x Named command eXtend. Followed by a long name.

The control-g character is the bell character. It rings the terminal
bell. An interrupt. Cancel. Ding!
