dfads^?^?^?^?^?^?^? ^?^?^?^?

stty erase '^?'

may fix it. But chances are that your problem is deeper than
that.

It's normal for your to send the DEL characters.
Many terminals do that. However, apparently, your vi doesn't
seem to think that DEL is the character sent upon

It may be either because your terminfo database is not correct
or because your terminal "erase" setting is not correct, or
whatever vi uses to determine what character is sent upon
.
