The \e[x q escape sequence, where x is an integer, can be used to set the cursor style in some terminals, see ctrlseqs (look for DECSCUSR on that page).

If I set my preferred style (e.g. 5 (bar) or 1 (block)) in my shell prompt, I don’t have to configure this in each terminal emulator separately. (That is, if all of my terminal emulators support that sequence.)

(NB: There seems to be a consensus emerging to use 0 as meaning “return to default set in the terminal config”, but I don’t think I’m gonna go with that.)
