However, 0x5C in Windows-932 is nonetheless considered a Yen sign in certain contexts.<ref name="kaplan">{{cite web | title=When is a backslash not a backslash? | date=2005-09-17 | author=Kaplan, Michael S. | url=http://archives.miloush.net/michkap/archive/2005/09/17/469941.html | work=Sorting it all out}}</ref> For this reason, in many Japanese fonts, U+005C is displayed as a Yen symbol, which would normally be represented as U+00A5, rather than as a backslash per Unicode's suggested rendering. U+00A5 is one-way best-fit mapped onto 0x5C in Windows-932. However, code 0x5C in Windows-932 behaves as a reverse solidus (backslash) in all respects (e.g. in [[filename|file paths]] on Windows systems) other than how it is displayed by some fonts,<ref name="kaplan" /> and Microsoft's documentation for Windows-932 displays 0x5C as a backslash.<ref name="msrefrender" /> This mapping<ref name="msmapping" /> corresponds to the encoding named "ibm-943_P15A-2003" in [[International Components for Unicode]] (ICU),<ref name="icuwindows31j" /> except for minor reordering of a few [[C0 control characters]].
 
IBM-943, like [[Code page 932 (IBM)|IBM-932]],<ref name="ibm932v943"/> is a superset of the single-byte [[Code page 897]],<ref name="ibm943"/> which maps 0x5C to the Yen symbol (<code>¥</code>) and 0x7E to the overline (<code>‾</code>),<ref name="cp00897txt">{{cite web | url=ftphttps://ftppublic.softwaredhe.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcoc/attachments/CP00897.txt | title=CP00897.txt | publisher=IBM | archive-date=2019-01-12 | url-status=live | archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/75NZsweMG?url=ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcoc/attachments/CP00897.txt | access-date=2017-09-24 }}</ref> this is followed by the encoding named "ibm-943_P130-1999" in ICU.<ref name="icuibm943">{{cite web | url=http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=ibm-943 | work=International Components for Unicode: ICU Demonstration | title=Converter Explorer: ibm-943_P130-1999}}</ref> Code page 897 (and therefore also IBM-943 and IBM-932) also adds single-byte box-drawing characters replacing certain [[C0 control characters]],<ref name="cp00897txt" /> however these may still be treated as control characters depending on the context,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00897.html | title=Code page identifiers - CP 00897 | publisher=IBM | work=IBM Globalization | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317053427/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00897.html | archive-date=2016-03-17}}</ref> and are mapped to control characters in ICU.<ref name="icuibm943" />
