Back DEL (znak) Czech Delete German Caractère d'effacement French 削除文字 Japanese 지움 문자 Korean Delete (ASCII) Dutch Delete字符 Chinese
The delete control character (also called DEL or rubout) is the last character in the ASCII repertoire, with the code 127.[1] It is supposed to do nothing and was designed to erase incorrect characters on paper tape. It is denoted as ^? in caret notation and is U+007F in Unicode.
Terminal emulators may produce DEL when ← Backspace key or Control+← Backspace or Control+? are typed.
