^G is the ascii BEL character; most terminals will pass that along to
X11 as an URGENT flag.

$ ascii bel
ASCII 0/7 is decimal 007, hex 07, octal 007, bits 00000111: called ^G, BEL
Official name: Bell
C escape: '\a'
Other names: Alert 


>From urxvt(1):

       urgentOnBell: boolean
           True: set the urgency hint for the wm on receipt of a
           bell character.  False: do not set the urgency hint
           [default].

           urxvt resets the urgency hint on every focus change.


This little C program should do the job: https://www.mail-archive.com/awesome@xxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00641.html

Title:
  Unity does nothing with URGENT window flag

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Under other window managers, I've become quite used to terminal bells
  raising the URGENT flag and then alerting the window manager that I
  need to pay attention to something. Unity appears to ignore the URGENT
  flag.

  To test:
  1. open any terminal. (I've tried both urxvt and gnome-terminal.)
  2. run "sleep 2; echo ^V^G"
  3. quickly change desktops away to another desktop
  4. note that nothing happens after two seconds

  Unity should indicate to the user which window has set the URGENT
  flag. Unity should indicate to the user on which desktop the URGENT
  flag has been raised. Unity should provide a keyboard shortcut to
  switch desktop and focus to the window with the URGENT flag. (This may
  or may not exist already -- I just haven't found it.)

  Thanks
