The Basic Latin (or C0 Controls and Basic Latin) Unicode block is the first block of the Unicode standard, and the only block which is encoded in one byte in UTF-8. The block contains all the letters and control codes of the ASCII encoding, which is a United States national variant of ISO/IEC 646.

The letter U+005C (\) may show up as a Yen or Won sign in Japanese/Korean fonts for compatibility reasons with legacy character sets which replaced the backslash with these signs.[2]
