What exactly is the purpose of "a few non-ASCII characters everybody can

such symbols in speech, like in-person, at a bar, over lunch or on the
phone, and therefore don't want to have any of them in RFCs.
A few characters should be sufficient with specs that deal with I18N.
Yes, but, ASCII back slash is already a little too much enough for
us Japanese, because, in Japan, JIS Latin, which assigne Yen sign
to the code point of back slash, is so widely used.
Yes, we can and do accept it but no Latin-1 please. Most people
in Japan can recognize Yen sign as back slash but can't recognize
Latin-1 specific characters with fancy diacritica marks at all.
