Re: [csswg-drafts] Backslash & Yen sign behavior (#6848)

Ah if you mean what the spec of EUC JP said, then there is apparently no single standard, but one of the more referenced document from UI-OSF 日本語環境実装規約 from UI-OSF Japanese Localization Group in 1993 say it is necessary to support either "ISO 646 IRV (ASCII)" OR "JIS X 0201 Romaji 7 bit symbol".
At the code point, ASCII is reverse solidus, while JIS X 0201 is Yen symbol.
