These aren't problems in using Japanese; they are problems that Japanese
have using Unicode, frequently due to bugs in Japanese character sets.
Frankly, I find it hard to blame Unicode for _not_ confusing the Yen sign
and the backslash. Likewise, the doublewidth / singlewidth character problem
is a problem of Japanese character sets poor-handling of non-Japanese
characters - you can't ask that Germans use double-width characters for any
non-ASCII characters.
