> > Webkit once attempted converting U+005C to U+00A5 and resulted in a number of unexpected behaviors. See >https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24906 > > Is it specific to EUC-JP in which 0x5C is a reverse solidus? According to http://miau.s9.xrea.com/blog/index.php?itemid=990 , back then the chromium code applied this conversion to EUC-JP together with "Shift_JIS_X0213-2000" but since "Shift_JIS_X0213-2000" would not appear as an option when choosing encoding so only EUC-JP is actually affected by the conversion code. ---- Also, as described in blogs like https://naruse.hateblo.jp/entry/20100327/1269684858 , a specific problem with converting 0x5C into U+00A5 is that Japanese webpages might write codes that involve 0x5C and have it displayed in Yen sign, but if any non-Japanese person try to copy the code in a browser that converted all of them to U+00A5 then those codes being copied wouldn't work. -- GitHub Notification of comment by c933103 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6848#issuecomment-1227979121 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
