Those have implementation defined behavior on most terminals. I never ever seen vertical tab actually used.

and form feed behaves as clear screen on some terminals (it literally means "next page" when passed directly to printer)

Carriage return had sense for printing devices, and it is still used as (part of) newline in Windows and (really old) MacOS.

Note that streams opened in text mode handles line endings themselves, so you just need to use \n. But for stream opened in binary, you will need to use \r\n on Windows and \n on Linux to get correct line endings.
There is also \a. Just saying.
Literallty backspace. It might delete previous letter, for printing device it migh means moving caret one character to the left.

What exactly you do not understand? Those a bunch of special characters, which largely lost their meaning over time. Most of them does not do anything special now (or do some obscure stuff you will not understand right now).
You should refer to the specific output device reference to learn if it supports those special characters and what it does with them.
