My guess is that LibO is using that codepage for the UI, and UTF-8 in
Write.

For coding in LO, click on Help  About and you will see it.


It says there:
"UI render: default
Locale: ja_JP (ja_JP); Calc: group"

Does that mean, I need to change the locale setting of the computer? 
Living in Japan and working with a computer running the

Japanese Version of Windows that might not be such a good idea.
I do use an (USA) English UI and changing the locale within 
Libreoffice (Tools -> Options -> Language settings) to US English 
apparently has no effect.

Anything else I might try?

This is another problem that has NOT been solved.
BUT ... I noticed that in MS Word (I DO NOT like MS products and thus 
try to avoid them whenever possible), I can select a backslash
in the text, copy it to the search field -> where it is displayed as the 
YEN sign -> AND perform search and replace.

That works.
The very same thing also works in "Textmaker" (Softmaker product).
It DOES NOT work in a text editor.

Since other softwares are actually able to do this little trick, it 
would be wonderful if someone could work this bit of computer magic.

Others may be able to help with Windows, but perhaps this link will help a 
little:

While writing in Writer I get that backslash, but in the Find dialog I

always get the "Yen" mark no matter what I do.
Naturally, find dialog always tells me, there is no such thing as for
example "backslash+p", since the find field
contains on "yen+p".

What codepage is the computer configured for?

Sorry, but I don't how I am supposed to look for that information.
I usually use English, German and Japanese and don't have any problems 
entering things - except the backslash in the find dialog.
In most cases where a backslash was required in the past, the "Yen" mark 
appearing on the screen worked just fine.
