I more or less agree with the reporter. Actually, I'd rather get rid of the
'hack' for 0x5C even for SJIS. Anyway, at least for EUC-JP, we'd better remove
that code. 

Alexey, 0x5C in EUC-JP (and EUC-KR) is always ambiguous (Linux/Unix people like
to see 0x5C to be treated as U+005C) and Japanese and Korean are accustomed to
see 0x5C rendered as backslash or Yen-sign depending on the font being used.
So, we don't have to worry about 'breaking' EUC-JP pages. It's perfectly ok to
show backslash for 0x5C in EUC-JP (and EUC-KR). I'd even say it's ok for
Shift_JIS.
