BS

    (BS) ASCII code 8, Control-H.  The control
   character that should cause most output devices to move their
   current output position back to the previous character so that
   the next character output will replace (or overprint) it.
   Inputting a backspace (typically by pressing the backspace
   key) causes many systems to delete the character before the
   input cursor, though others use delete for this.

   See twirling baton for an imaginitive use of backspace.
