Is there a 'backspace' key with Ver 1 Brain Board?

I recently bought a Brain Board Version 1  on eBay for my Apple II computer. The card works great. The card design provides a nice, efficient way  to get an Apple-1 emulator in my Apple II. My problem is that my Apple II keyboard is not perfect. Some keys will produce two characters instead of just one. This was fine with the Apple II as I could just use the left arrow to 'backspace' over the extra character and type over it. But, to my knowledge,  the Brain Board Apple I emulator does not have a 'backspace'  key. Is there a 'backspace' key for the Apple-1 emulator on the Brain Board?

see this old blog post for

see this old blog post for fundamental information on the Apple 1 ROM's expected "backspace" code.  Note that the Apple 1 video circuit doesn't support a backspace function, so an underbar is printed instead.
