I don't know if this is what you're looking for but over at subtleGradient they have a TextGlyphs bundle. You can check it out using subversion or you can use the copy I'm attaching. The address for the subtleGradient SVN repository is: http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/
Hope that helps!

Why do you want to type control codes directly? It's a lot safer to use escape sequences.
Bash even has a string quote form $'string', which supports escapes, and an escape \cx which stands for the control-x character. This means you can represent the ^[ character as $'\c['.

For shell init scripts and various other purposes, I'd like to be able to "type" characters like ⌃[ or ⌃G. You know, the kind of thing you would precede with ⌃V in the Terminal. It seems that Cocoa has a key binding for this (NSQuotedKeystrokeBinding, which is ⌃Q by default), but it is used for another purpose in Textmate. Has the functionality been remapped or do I need to try to define it for Textmate myself? It doesn't seem to be set…
I'm pretty sure TextMate's text control doesn't support that, but you can try.
rob@kendra ~> defaults read com.macromates.TextmateNSQuotedKeystrokeBinding

On a related note, I'd like to be able to "see" these characters as well, or perhaps toggle them of and on (with ⌥⌘I ideally). Texmate is better than most Cocoa apps, as it seems to display a space in place of such characters instead of nothing at all, but I'd like to know what that space represents. Has anyone tried enabling [NSTextShowsControlCharacters][] in Textmate? I'm guessing there would be undesired side-effects.
Did you try showing invisibles? I believe these show up as different from spaces or tabs, but I don't remember exactly what they look like.
In any case, you should be able to copy/paste them into a textmate control from another window, or make a command to insert them, something that takes the previous letter ("[" for instance), and turns it into the control sequence ("⌃[").
