Sure, every one of Korean emulators (for EUC-KR and Johab) I have used moves two column-widths (a single Korean character) for 'backspace'.
I was rather surprised to know that Japanese terminal emulators don't.


Really?
Please note that the current topic is the behavior on sending a 0x08 to
the terminal, not pushing Backspace key.  It is apparent that pushing
Backspace key should erase one character (not one byte nor one column).

Oops. Sorry I was mistaken. In that case, you're probably right although I can't be sure, for the obvious reason, that _every_ CJK terminal (ever made) behaves that way.
