In this context, it might be useful to know that there are some codepoints
in some Chinese multi-byte encodings, which contain a byte looking like
a Backslash "\" 0x5C as trail byte.
This can cause problems in C-like string literals where \ acts as a meta-character.
Examples:
in BIG5 (Win CP 950) Traditional Chinese
U+03B1 maps to A3 5C
U+4E48 maps to A4 5C
U+4FDF maps to AB 5C
in GBK (Win CP 936) Simplified Chinese
U+2010 maps to A9 5C
U+2558 maps to A8 5C
U+4E57 maps to 81 5C
