Firstly, that the escape character 0x5C, normally backslash, is the half-width yen sign (¥) in Shift JIS. If the programmer is aware of this, it would be possible to use printf("ハローワールド¥n"); (where ハローワールド is Hello, world and ¥n is an escape sequence), assuming the I/O system supports Shift JIS output.
AltGr+⇧ Shift+/(release) letter produces mainly overdots (e.g., ȧ/Ȧ) Finally, any arbitrary Unicode glyph can be produced given its hexadecimal code point: ctrl+⇧ Shift+u, release, then the hex value, then space bar or ↩ Return. For example ctrl+⇧ Shift+u (release) 1234space produces the Ethiopic syllable SEE, ሴ.
Keyboard of a German manual typewriter (early 20th century), with Shift keys labelled "Umschalter" ("switch") Keyboard symbol for "Level 2 Select" (i.e. "Shift") The keyboard symbol for the Shift key (which is called Level 2 Select key in the international standard series ISO/IEC 9995) is given in ISO/IEC 9995-7 as symbol 1, and in ISO 7000 “Graphical symbols for use on equipment” as a ...
The UK/Ireland keyboard has both symbols engraved: the broken bar is given as an alternate graphic on the "grave" key; the solid bar is on the backslash key. The broken bar character can be typed (depending on the layout) as AltGr + ` or AltGr + 6 or AltGr + ⇧ Shift + \ on Windows and Compose ! ^ on Linux.
In JIS X 0201, of which Shift JIS is an extension, assigns code point 0x5C to the Latin-script yen sign: as noted above, this is the code used for the backslash in ASCII and also subsequently in Unicode. The JIS X 0201 standard was widely adopted in Japan.
