Fix shell terminal after cat-ing a binary or echoing some encrypted content

Ever had the putty/securecrt/terminal looking like this after cat-ing a binary or echoing encrypted content ?

Code:
[⎼⎺⎺├@├␤⎺⎼ ·]#
[⎼⎺⎺├@├␤⎺⎼ ·]#
[⎼⎺⎺├@├␤⎺⎼ ·]#
[⎼⎺⎺├@├␤⎺⎼ ·]# ␊␌␤⎺ '\17'
\17
[⎼⎺⎺├@├␤⎺⎼ ·]# ␊␌␤⎺ -␊ '\␊(0'


There are many solutions on the web, but not all work all the time. Here's one that worked everytime for me:
Code:
echo -e '\017'
