I don't think this is an iTerm problem, but it's in the chain, so maybe someone has ideas for me. I'm using iTerm2 to ssh to my Ubuntu Linux instance, to use Emacs.

If I hit Ctrl-Backspace, what gets sent is Ctrl-H.  (Just backspace sends ^?)

This is true outside of emacs as well.

I don't have anything in my .ssh config. I don't have any mappings in iTerm.  

Anyone have any idea what is doing that mapping?

I'm on macOS 15.5.

This looks like macOS’s built in behavior. You could probably change it with DefaultKeyBindings.dict, or just create a key binding in settings.
