How to send Pause/Break key to Windows over SSH?

I'm connected to a Windows VM from Ubuntu via SSH. As some processes can disable Ctrl + C from sending an interrupt (see here ; it seems in particular Python does this) Ctrl + Break can be used instead. However, while the Pause/Break key works locally on Ubuntu and on the Windows VM through VNC, where it will successfully terminate processes that ignore Ctrl + C , it does nothing through SSH. I assume OpenSSH is not (correctly) sending the key over SSH. I'm aware of the OpenSSH escape sequence Enter ~ B , which it says sends a break to the remote system, but it doesn't have any effect beyond p
