Comment #2 on issue 9696 by [email protected]: EUC-JP is still not  
compatible with IE and Firefox
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9696

No, that's not what IE/Firefox do. IE/Firefox do not do anything special  
about 0x5C.
It's just translated to U+005C. It's MS (P) Gothic/MS (P) Mincho (Japanese)  
and
Gulim(che)/Batang(che) (Korean) that have the glyph for Yen sign and the  
glyph for
Korean Won sign for U+005C. These fonts are broken and are not  
Unicode-compliant.
(the identity of U+005C IS back slash/reverse solidus and nothing else).

So, even in UTF-8 encoded pages, 0x5C is rendered as Yen/Won sign if one of  
above
fonts is used.

Anyway, webkit bug 24906 should be fixed as proposed there (see my comment  
there). I
meant to fix this webkit issue, but it got out of my radar.

I'll bring this along to be merged with our 2.0 branch.
