We have our app built from the start in English/U.S. We have all our

not sure how else we would handle it.

I'd say you have three options: don't use the backslash character, or use a font where that code point is drawn as a backslash instead of a Yen, or upgrade to 5.x.

In any case, it seems that I'm asking a fairly simple question as to the
procedure to replace one Unicode character with another.

Yes, that's a simple question, it's just not one which has any relevance to your situation (because there are no Unicode characters involved in your case).

(And the answer to that question, while quite simple in 5.x, is fairly involved in 4.5 because of its weak Unicode support.)
