Backspace(\b) doesn't work with the gsub filter

Version: 6.x
Operating System: Any
Backspace(\b) doesn't work with the gsub filter:

Config:

mutate {
	gsub => [
		"Data","\u0000","",
		"Data","\u0001","",
		"Data","\u0002","",
		"Data","\u0003","",
		"Data","\u0004","",
		"Data","\u0005","",
		"Data","\u0006","",
		"Data","\f","",
		"Data","\a","",
		"Data","\b",""
	] 
}
json {
	source => "Data"
}

Log:

Here's a list of the supported escape sequences: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuration-file-structure.html

I believe \b matches a word boundary and not backspace.
