Return control character as number

so I’m trying to print every keypress as an integer and character referencing to ASCII code. and it seems I can’t print some of control character.

After reading antirez’s booklet about his kilo text editor I managed to disable ctrl + c, z, s, q. all those will print 3 26 19 17 respectively.
But I can’t seem to disable ctrl + v which by his guide I’m supposed to turning off IEXTEN as in the code below. my ctrl + v seems to return whatever in my clipboard when it’s supposed to return 22.

void enableRawMode(){
    tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &orig_termios);
    atexit(disableRawMode);

    struct termios raw = orig_termios;
    
    tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &raw);
    
    raw.c_iflag &= ~( ICRNL | IXON );
    raw.c_lflag &= ~( ECHO | ICANON | IEXTEN | ISIG );

    tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSAFLUSH, &raw);
}

int main(){
    enableRawMode();

    char c;
    while (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) == 1 && c != 'q'){
        if (iscntrl(c)){
            printf("%d\n", c);
        }
        else{
            printf("%d ('%c')\n", c, c);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Anyone know why this happen? any alternative solution? I ran this on WSL terminal, does it have something to do with that?
