The ASCII characters 6, 7, 8, and 9 are not used to represent anything in NetHack by default. However, you can use the keys 09 to specify a numeric prefix for a command or in a menu.

Every character except 6 is used in variants, while 8 and 9 were historically used in vanilla NetHack; see the individual articles for more information.
