I guess backspace should remove the entire character, i.e. as much as when navigating with the cursor, right?

There is also a function called bool KTextEditor::Document::isValidTextPosition(). This function returns false, if you are inside a surrogate character, i.e. two 16bit QChars give one 32bit character. But as I understand, this would not help here?
