vim backspace leaves ^?

My Vim Backspace is not working correctly. When I press it, it prints out ^?. I found some other suggestions on how to fix it such as adding set backspace=indent,eol,start to the .vimrc. But this does not seem to work right. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

From vim-docs :help fixdel

Note about Linux: By default the backspace key produces CTRL-?,
which is wrong. You can fix it by putting this line in your
rc.local:

echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" | loadkeys
