For gnome terminal just select 'reset terminal' in the menu or escape-[c;
(from memory) is the VT reset code. If your xterm can be stuck forever
file a security bug against your vendors xterm for a DoS attack problem.

It printed a symbol, if your shell really got screwed that much by it
then your shell needs work perhaps. I'm not btw arguing that we shouldn't
