Funny, I read this and my thought was about the ANSI C standard.

I'm still not quite clear on what you're trying to solve. You have a
graphical application that emulates a terminal and you want to add
support for ANSI escape sequences? I'd look at something like xterm.
Or you are using something like xterm and want to do something else,
in which case I'm not sure why the terminal emulator program isn't
already doing this. Or you want to write a text-oriented program that
uses cursor addressing using ANSI escape sequences? In that case, I'd
look at a library like ncurses.
