Background

In some Japanese legacy character encodings (EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, and ISO-2022-JP) on Windows platforms, the code for the Yen symbol is the same as the code for a backslash in Unicode. This can cause some confusion as to whether the author intended to put a backslash in the document or the author intended a Yen symbol. This preference controls whether backslashes are replaced by Yen symbols for the aforementionned encodings on Windows.

Possible values and their effects

True

Replace backslashes with Yen symbols.

False

Do nothing. (Default)
