Is there a way to send binary code to the terminal from Emacs Lisp?

I'm using an HP terminal and would like to configure the function key
set, which requires some control code to be sent to the terminal.
I tried various output functions such as (princ ...) but everything is
intercepted by emacs and gets converted to displaying characters.  For
example, ESC will be displayed as ^[.  Is there a way to send ESC to the
terminal?
