On this row of smaller keys, the position of the Delete key is positioned at or near the right-hand end. Many laptops add rows of smaller keys above the Function key line to add keys on a non-standard size keyboard. In other cases, the Delete key is in its original IBM notebook position of above and to the right of the Backspace key. However, sometimes the key labelled Delete performs the Backspace function instead, for example on some Apple keyboards. A dedicated symbol for 'delete' exists as U+2326 ⌦ but its use as a keyboard label is not universal.
