We have found that in Shift-JIS (which is what I've been told is the system

of them in fact), but we haven't got the vaguest idea how to do a find and
replace of one shift-jis (or for that matter, even one Unicode character)
with another.
I would like to use Unicode 2572 to replace the Unicode 005c character.
It seems to me there are a lot of assumptions here that don't fit
together. If you were using Unicode, then this problem probably
wouldn't occur. If you're not using Unicode, then of course you
can't replace one Unicode character with another.
If you see a Yen symbol where you expect a backslash, it's probably
because the your text is indeed in Shift-JIS, and the backslash and
Yen symbol occupy the same code point, displayed differently
depending on which font you use. If that is the case, then there's
little you can do about it except switch to a different encoding, or
switch to a different font.
Probably the easiest solution is to upgrade to 5.x, where strings are
compiled as UTF-8, and (at least on OS X) this problem will not occur.
