Thanks for the explanation. Just a bit correction on the issue itself.
The reason why backslash is a yen-sign Japanese decided to override backslash code point in ASCII with the yen-sign. Similar thing happens in Korean, German, Danish, French and Spanish in their variants of ISO 646: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash#Co....
Therefore it has nothing to do with East-Asian locales. Simplifed and traditional Chinese region all display backslash as the original backslash.
However this is indeed a revelation of how messed-up Windows localization is due to backward compatibility.
