Backspace
Backspace is the keyboard key that originally pushed the
typewriter carriage one position backwards, and in modern computer displays moves the cursor one position backwards, deletes the preceding character, and shifts back the text after it by one position.In typewriters, a typist would, for example, type a lowercase letter A with acute accent (á) by typing a lowercase letter A, backspace and then the acute accent key (also known as
overstrike). This is the basis for such spacing modifiers in computer character sets such as the
ASCII caret (^, for the circumflex accent). Backspace composition no longer works with digital displays or typesetting systems. It has to some degree been replaced with the
combining diacritical marks mechanism of
Unicode, though such characters do not work well with many fonts, and precomposed characters continue to be used. Some software like
TeX or
Microsoft Windows use the opposite method for diacritical marks, namely positioning the accent first, and then the base letter on its position.
