How can I put 0x08 ascii character using MacBook?


I'm writing this question because one little invisible problem has taken from me hours and hours of dummy searchings, and the time just has been wasted (here is that question: CSS: Is there any difference between these two parts?)

Does anybody know how the character 0x08 ("backspace" in ASCII) can be written into a text using a MacBook and a simple IDE (I use the "Coda")?

There is no ability to press Alt + 08 on MacBook (there is no digital keys part on the MacBook's keyboard).

How it can happen?


Solution

  • Did you copy & paste it from anywhere? Because the only way I know - apart from what SCFrench suggested - is to enable this in Terminal by typing:

    stty erase SPACE CTRL+V CTRL+H RETURN
