What's confusing about it? Is the confusion that there are 2 unicode characters (U+00A5 and U+FFE5) for the same thing?

- fomine3 5y agoThe original yen mark for Japanese computer is "\" U+005C, that is rendered same as U+00A5.
- pwdisswordfish8 5y agoU+005C is REVERSE SOLIDUS, it always has been.
- fomine3 5y agoI wish it was before Unicode.
- divingdragon 5y agoYes in theory, but in practice some Japanese fonts use the yen sign glyph for U+005C, the most common ones being those that come with Windows.
- silon42 5y agoPossibly a security hole, similar to recent thread on BIDI and related Unicode complexity.
