ASCII Character ␡
DeleteThe delete control character (also called DEL or rubout) is the last character in the ASCII repertoire, with the code 127. 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. Unix-like operating systems can still use it as the erase character, i.e., to delete the previous character in the line mode. DOS/Windows never used this character in any way.
