“␈” U+0008: Backspace

ℹ️ About

The Backspace control character (U+0008) is a non-printing legacy code originally designed for teletypes and terminals to move the active print head or cursor one character position backward. In modern computing, it is often represented by the visual symbol ␈ (U+2408) for technical documentation. In programming strings, it is commonly escaped as \b.
