Are it two characters or is it a single character?

it's a single character. Just do Ctrl+V and then press the backspace.

On HP-UX, put these 2 lines below, somewhere in your .profile; then you don't need to worry about each time setting the backspace for deletion..
Code:
stty erase "^?" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"   # all char's inside "" are single character.
stty hupcl ixon ixoff

Single character. I do it all the time. It's part of my regular new account build when I'm given new servers to deal with

With most versions of unix it is single character or double character. The stty command accepts it either way.
