As many Japanese type Yen sign, when he actually want to input back slash, the JIS character of Yen sign is converted to unicode character of Yen sign, which is not back slash, which was the intention. Here, it is not a problem of so complicated unicode but a rather simple ASCII and JIS. Even I can't fully predict how disastrous full deployment of unicode could be.
