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.

See, if you use any encoding of Unicode, you won't have this problem, because U+005C is unequivocally the backslash and U+00A5 is unequivocally the yen sign. There are no context-dependent "duals" in Unicode.
