Re: [libreoffice-users] "reverse solidus" not working in the find dialog box
Hi Thomas, and another try: In the 'Find' field call the context menu. That is a right click or Context-menu key on the key board. Choose 'Special Character'. The Reverse Solidus is at code point U+5c. That is is group "Basic Latin". I don't know whether a Japanese LibreOffice has a shortcut for the 'Special Character' dialog. In an English LibreOffice it would be 'Ctrl+Shift+S'.

This sounds like a problem with the Windows 10 Japanese keyboard. Have you complained to Microsoft? Perhaps they will fix the problem. The best that this group could do is give you a workaround.
