I don't know how the C-% in xterm comes about since by default xterm doesn't encode multiple modifier keys on digits. There is a "modifyOtherKeys" mode however that does support it. See the xterm docs for details. Meanwhile, mintty has a mintty-specific encoding for such combinations that's based on numpad keycodes. The keycodes section of the mintty man page has more on that. Xterm modifyOtherKeys mode is supported, too.
