STX is hexadecimal value 0x02, and ETX is 0x03. I am not sure that you can generate these directly via cmd, so you most likely need to write program to do it.

STX is often Ctrl&B
ETX is often Ctrl&C
CR is often Ctrl&M
When you have a look to the sacii table you will find the logic:

You mentioned command line, whatever this means...

Now in past (very past) when one need to control external devices by 'type writers' aka 'terminals' it was very common to send control codes by Ctrl&<x>
What means now <x>?
Have a look to the Ascii table e.g. here File:ASCII-Table-wide.svg - Wikipedia[^] and also American Standard Code for Information Interchange – Wikipedia[^] (where you find STX, ETX)

And let us first have a look to <cr>, Carriage return, decimal 13. Third row right you will find character 'M'.
Don't ask me from where it comes but Ctrl&M will perfrom a 'Carriage return' (and this still works e.g. in notepad).
And same is/was valid for other control characters, so Ctrl&B was/is(?) STX etc.

So, for every control character in the very past you could use Ctrl&<x> to send a control character.
In your case
STX is Ctrl&B
ETX is Ctrl&C

Sorry for my English ;)

To echo your control character, try use a method that allows echoing/converting hexadecimal to character, some like: echo(0x02StringsToSend0x03 to: ☻StringsToSend♥

CMD/BAT

@echo off 

for /f "delims= " %%S in ('forFiles /p "." /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c echo(0x02StringsToSend0x03"')do echo\%%S

You can also use your strings as an argument for your bat:

CMD/BAT

@echo off

rem :: your argument: "%~1"

for /f "delims= " %%S in ('forFiles /p "." /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c echo(0x02%~10x03"')do echo\%%S

-----------------------------------------------------
>rem./ in command-line use:
>Bat_Send_String.cmd StringsToSend
☻StringsToSend♥

To use just one line:

CMD/BAT

@for /f "delims= " %%S in ('forFiles /p "." /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c echo(0x02strings0x03"')do @echo\%%S
