Actually not. I had a few minutes to look yesterday at a Red Hat 7.3 system
at work, and it seems that Linux stty had none of the necessary options. In
keyboard input with an IME active, the backspace key deleted a single byte
instead of an entire character, exactly one of the problems that commercial
Unix (and MS-DOS) systems solved 20 years ago.

The reason I think my checking was not useful is that I think you already
knew that Linux didn't have it :-)

Sorry I cannot check details on which bits are used by commercial Unix
systems. As mentioned previously, I no longer have access to any such
systems. Some vendors documented the options in the "man stty" pages in
both Japanese and English, but other vendors only documented them in the
"man stty" page in Japanese.
