Title:
  Backspace doesn't remove utf-8 multibyte characters

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 13.10 backspace in terminal only deletes one byte of
  multibyte character.

  For example:

  # cat > /tmp/test
  tы<backspace>t

  # cat /tmp/test
  t�t

  # hexdump -C /tmp/test
  74 d1 74 0a

  Where 'ы' is a russian letter (D18B in hexadecimal form). You may see
  that only second byte of multibyte character was deleted by backspace.

  I saw similar problem for ssh, but it's not the case. Here I'm not
  using ssh, just normal Terminal session.
