I'm trying to use /b, but it doesn't actually backspace, but it inserts the character

Question

So I've been trying to use the backspace (\b) character in my code, but for some reason, my python does not actually delete a character, it literally inserts a backspace character. Is there any way to go around this issue, or do I have to use another way?

My Code:

print('Hello World!\b')

The output:

Hello World!

If you are doing this in IDLE , know that \b is not supported.
