Do you refer to the table titled "Circumflex Control Characters in stty"?

It states for example:

?	<DEL>

Running:

echo $'\c?' |od -a
echo $'\c[\c\\c]\c^\c_\c?' |od -a

bash prints:

0000000  us  nl
0000002
0000000 esc  fs   c   ]  rs  us  us  nl

I'd expect:

0000000 del  nl
0000002
0000000 esc  fs  gs  rs  us del  nl

Also the ] in the output seems wrong, looks it gets the \\ wrong, though  
ksh93 does this also.

Not a serious issue ...
