Japanese keyboards traditionally use 0x5c for both Japanese yen sign key and backslash key. While a Japanese yen sign is depicted on the keytop, most of Japanese expect that the scan code 0x7d gives a backslash (0x5c), not a Japanese yen sign (0xa5). This is because JIS X 0201 encoding (aka ISO/IEC 646-JA, an extended version of ASCII which is very popular in Japan) has Japanese yen sign at 0x5c and no backslash. On the other hand, ISO/IEC 8859-1 has Japanese yen sign at 0xa5. This difference has caused a confusion after Unicode became popular since ISO/IEC 10646 adopted 8859-1 for the plane 0.
