Since nobody else has responded to this, and at the risk of
bringing some wrath down upon myself for telling you something you
already know...
I think the code point for backslash and yen symbol are the same
in (legacy) Japanese encodings. Or at least on Shift_JIS systems,
backslash /always/ shows up as yen symbol. Or maybe I don't know
what I'm talking about at all (I use ja_JP.UTF-8...)
