The backspace is unable to erase the characters. The navigation keys produce alphabets.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

If update alterantives --list editor shows that the vi editor in reality is vim.basic then I guess that this has to do with character translation at some layer. The most likely place to encounter problems is in a SSH-client like Putty if such is being used to access the console. If so then check Puttys settings and choose your correct translation - probably utf8. If vim.basic is not listed in the output then simply try to install Vim.
