Showing backspace..

Hello,
How can I configure the shell to show the backspace symbol when the backspace key is pressed, instead of just clear the previous character?

I want something like this: My slave-dri^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hboss decided to stall the project. (from wikipedia).

I need to pass a backspace to a program (a programming exercise), but I can't type a backspace, and the command "echo -e '\b'" do what I want.. Thanks..
 
Press ctrl-V then backspace. Ctrl-V sets the shell to accept the next key 'verbatim'.
