It totally depends on the editor. In Notepad++, when I backspace over "Man Teacher: Dark Skin Tone", I get "Man Teacher: Dark Skin Tone" => ""Man: Dark Skin Tone" => gone.

In the Outlook e-mail editor, I get

When it comes to the second sentence of the text of Slide 7 'Grapheme Clusters', my overwhelming reaction is one of extreme anger.  Slide 8 does nothing to lessen the offence.  The problem is that it gives the impression that in general it is acceptable for backspace to delete the whole grapheme cluster.
