When a double wide character (for example U+30B7 KATAKANA LETTER SI) is
inserted to less's search command, the character is displayed twice.
I think "less" thinks there is only one character but it just displays
two. Probably because of this the backspace key does not work correctly.

After 13 years, less bug 273 marked as fixed in (beta?) version 485, and
it seems everything works as of debian package version 487-0.1 (in
ja_JP.UTF-8 locale; in non-utf-8 locales - e.g. ja_JP.EUC-JP or
ja_JP.SJIS - it seems still broken, but debian consider them deprecated
anyway).
