That is not a correct transcription of the code. You need to type type ¥ as U+005C which is \. ¥ is just how Windows displays it on Japanese locales for ridiculous backwards compatibility reasons. The guy writing that on the blackboard clearly runs Windows in his head.

Yes they literally have code to display one Unicode character as a different Unicode character but only in Japanese systems, because in the DOS days the path separator looked like ¥ instead of \ in Japanese locales and "they were used to it".https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1269361470359212032 …
