(From update of attachment 74532)
+        IE shows a yensign for 0x5c code point encoded in x-mac-japanese,
+        ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, Shift_JIS_X0213-2000, x-sjis, and
+        Windows-31J. We follow it.

This explanation is misleading. IE chooses a default font based on encoding, and some Windows fonts have a yen sign in place of backslash. We need much more complicated logic because fonts on other platforms are different, and don't have this quirk.
