(not to answer) / becomes YEN symbol in IDLE editor, not in terminal or
Notepad++
IDLE is based on tkinter is based on tcl/tk. tk handles keystrokes, so
this is almost certainly a tk and not an IDLE problem. Tk must somehow
think you have a non-US keyboard.
Save the following to a file and run the file both in IDLE and from
Command Prompt or Powershell.
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
text = Text(root)
text.pack()
text.focus_set() # required to work on Windows
root.mainloop()
Type backslashes into tk Text box.

Themes only affect color marking.
