Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 30804
Need to have 'backsllash' <-> 'Yen mark' conversion option
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
In Japan, Yen mark (\u00A5) is used for the represantation for backspack code(\u005c) even in these Unicode days especially on PC. This is due to the fact of jisx0201 (variant of ASCII - iso646 complient and SJIS is based on) defines the code 0x5c as Yen mark and it's used for long time. But of course ASCII or Unicode define 0x5c as backslash and all of Latin fonts map 0x5c to backslash glyph. So Japanese MS Word has option in Options->Compatibility section for it. [X] convert backslash to Yen mark Writer also should have this option for the convenience for Japanese users. This option is not for code conversion, but just display/print Yen mark for the code 0x5c. So the data itself should remain 0x5c if this option is active. (Excel/PowerPoint has no such option, though)
