Hi David,
The attached patch changes a controversial mapping of the JIS X 0208
reverse solidus to Unicode. The original tables (derived from tables
provided by the Unicode consortium) mapped this character to the good
old ASCII backslash (U+005C); according to Tomohiro Kubota, this is
not what Japanese users expect, preferring it to be mapped to the
compatibility character U+FF3C FULLWIDTH REVERSE SOLIDUS instead.
Jungshik Shin confirms that this is the desired behaviour.
Regards,
Juliusz
