It's not clear which character you're referring to here.
RET is not one of the ASCII mnemonics. You could plausibly be
referring to CR, carriage return, or NL, newline (the latter also known
as LF, line feed). CR is octal 15, hex 0d, decimal 13, while NL is
octal 12, hex 0a, decimal 10.
17 hex is ETB. 17 octal is SI. 17 decimal is DC1.
