oh my god
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 …

I read it but didn't think
In that case my code just prints "a>%" with a trailing newline. Still not hard to debugThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I hate this I HATE THIS I've already seen like, Japanese installers (for reasons) that displayed ¥ insteads of \ (C:¥Program Files¥ baby) and I thought it was an encoding issue, but this. THIS IS WORSE

how does this work tho, do all \ show up as ¥ for them,, since it's also the yen symbol this only makes it more complicated

I can confirm the same applies to Korean. \ always gets visually replaced with ₩, the South Korean currency (KRW).

Back in the day, common DOS codepage used in Yugoslavia mapped ~^]}|\[{`@ to čČćĆđĐšŠžŽ, so DOS prompt was C:Đ>, but by the time Windows became popular, CP852 was mostly in use, and Windows never added support for the old codepage.
