In what environment? What is causing this?

it's to show that he's deleting "using" and replacing it with "working"
the poster just wanted to show how tech savvy he is, like how some redditors type out their posts in code snippets

>>Which is the worst board?
whichever one you're on
I don't get why people who do that don't just type ^W when they're "deleting" a whole word.

I think your browser is misconfigured. You should fix it before it's exploited by a rootkit.

Holding down CTRL while you hit a button sets the first two (of seven) ASCII bits to zero. This maps 0x48 and 0x68 (H and h) to 0x08 (backspace). If you are using a terminal which does not support backspacing, it might choose print the control characters - in a representable form - as ^h or ^H.
