    Japanese Locale changing the backslash to the yen symbol in paths.


    Hi, while having changed the locale to Japanese Japan, I've noticed how in a lot of system apps Most notoriously in the command prompt and file explorer windows, the backslash "\, U+005C" changes to the yen symbol "¥, U+00A5".While needing to have this locale for certain apps to work, it's annoying that I have to deal with ¥'s everywhere for pathing, which makes it hard and disturbing to work with. Is there any way I could change the locale "except" for system apps? Or at least to be able to fix the ¥ symbol in paths?As info, I do also need to have the "Use UTF-8 for ww. language support"

    :)

    Change path separator from Yen to \


    Best option: make a System Restore point and then hit Windows + R, run intl.cpl (or see this), change to the Administrative tab and change the language for non-Unicode programs to "English (United States)", too. After restarting, the Command Prompt should be showing a backslash as the path separator and there shouldn't be a need to read the rest of this.

    If you don't want to change that language, the only workaround I have would be to hit Win + R and open %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools , find the Command Prompt shortcut and set the following options:
    • Default code page: 437 (or 850 if the option is there)
    • Use legacy console (sadly, while a vast improvement, the new console overrides these settings)
    • In the Font tab, make sure Consolas is set
    When the Command Prompt is open, you may need to set these settings again by right-clicking the titlebar, choosing Defaults and doing the same.

    If you must stick with the Japanese codepage, then I'd look into the clink Command Prompt extension and getting somebody to write a script for that that replaces the Yen character with \ in the prompt, but that's the longest option out of them all.
