Hi, Prasanta.

I did not find any documentation for TISGetInputSourceProperty, does it public 
API?
But I found a list of related crashes in some applications because the 
TISGetInputSourceProperty may return NULL.

Can you please double check that the previous fixes which touches these lines 
of code still works:
JDK-8148555, JDK-8132503, JDK-8180370

Hi All,

Please review a fix for an issue where it is seen that Java apps ignore system 
settings regarding handling yen key.

If we use mac keyboard layout to use Japanese input source and "Change Settings -> Keyboard -> Input 
Sources -> Japanese -> "Â¥" key generates -> \ (Backslash) "
and Change Input method to Romaji and press "yen" symbol in Japanese keyboard or 
"option+y" key combination in US keyboard
Java app still interprets it as "yen" in JTextField

Issue seems to happen due to fact when NSTextInputClient.insertText() method is called, 
even though  "\" codePoint is passed,

but insertText() has a check for codePoint is complex or not, so in this case, it is not 
complex, InputMethodEvent is not generated and no "\" is inserted in JTextField.

Proposed fix is to see if keyboard layout is Japanese (kotoeri) and codePoint is 
"\" then take it as complex codepoint and generate IME,

so that whatever system setting is set for "yen" symbol, it is correctly 
interpreted and inputted in CInputMethod.insertText() method, to be seen in JTextField.

The fix has been tested in US keyboard and Japanese keyboard.
