Backspace (BS)
BS (hexadecimal 08, decimal 8) moves the cursor left by the
width of the last printed character or space. With fixed-pitch
fonts, the backspace distance is the current Horizontal Motion
Index (HMI). With proportionally-spaced fonts, a single
backspace centres the new character over the character to the
left. When multiple backspaces are used, each backspace moves
back by the width of the last character printed, regardless of the
width of the character being backspaced over.
