Well…Control-C is treated by bash differently than in emacs. It basically cancels the existing line and gives you a fresh line.
And IIRC, Control-V is also different, used to input literal control characters. Like, the terminal will handle that if it’s in cooked mode.

$ od -x
hits Control-V Control-C Enter Control-D

Yeah.
Control-U is also a notable difference I know off-the-cuff. In emacs, it’s the universal-argument prefix, which is an important way to pass arguments to functions. In readline, it’s kill-to-beginning-of-line.
If you’re using bash and haven’t modified the readline default, which is to use emacs keystrokes:
$ ls foo/bar/baz
Just what I wanted!
Control-P Control-A Alt-D cd Enter
absolutely brilliant <slow clap>
You know, I always kind of wondered what happened when I accidentally pressed control C, control V or whatnot in bash.
