Let's say I have ABCDEFG in the console, and I want to remove the C (AB DEFG). Is there anyway to do that when the cursor position is currently on the C? Like how \x1b[2J clears the console, but only one character instead of the whole console.

NOTE: this is in an stdout pipe.

Anything similar to escape codes works.

Backspace (above Enter) does not work? – dadexix86 May 23 '18 at 20:48
@dadexix86 no, it needs to work from stdout pipes. – JacobTDC May 23 '18 at 20:50
guessing: control-h? so \x08? – Rinzwind May 23 '18 at 21:09
