Did gpg read "ctrl+d" on Termux? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I encrypted a message by:

Typing gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient [recipient]
Hitting enter
Typing the message to be encrypted
Exiting/finishing with "ctrl + d"

However, I needed to press "ctrl + d" twice, for some reason. Maybe a Termux bug? Although I haven't tried it on a normal Linux distro, so maybe this is normal?

Question: if it isn't normal, did gpg encode/include the first "ctrld" in the encrypted message? If it did, I need to contact the recipient to tell them to disregard the message... 🤣

Naturally, I cannot reverse the message since it's encrypted with the recipient's public key.

I think I've seen this with patch too, when pasting a diff into stdin.

I think its normal.
