Some 7-bit ASCII variants defined by ISO/IEC 646 use 0x5C for Ø and 0x7C for ø, replacing the backslash and vertical bar. The most common locations in EBCDIC code pages is 0x80 and 0x70 . Most code pages used by MS-DOS such as CP437 did not contain this character; in Scandinavian codepages, Ø replaces the yen sign (¥) at 165, and ø ...

There was no code-point for any ¥ symbol in the original (7-bit) US-ASCII and consequently many early systems reassigned 5C (allocated to the backslash (\) in ASCII) to the yen sign. With the arrival of 8-bit encoding, the ISO/IEC 8859-1 ("ISO Latin 1") character set assigned code point A5 to the ¥ in 1985; Unicode continues this encoding.
