Good points, well stated. To make matters worse, the keyboard references at Microsoft's Global Development subsite [1] show: 1. for Korean, a won sign and the legend "U+005C Reverse Solidus\nWon Sign" 2. for Japanese, a yen sign and the legend "U+005C Reverse Solidus\nYen Sign" This helps perpetuate the idea that U+005C could be either a reverse solidus, a won sign, or a yen sign, depending on the font. This is exactly what Unicode is *not* about. Microsoft usually understands this. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California [1] http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp
