Please consider modifying scan code 125 in jp.kbd and jp.capsctrl.kbd. Changing '\' to 165 (unicode XML entity ¥ is YEN SIGN) matches major keyboards in Japan (would be OADG 109A or its variants) with unicode locales. Please see below for key layouts. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIS%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9C%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89 This page is in Japanese, but figures here would be useful. *Historical background: For historical reason, starting from JIS X 0201, code point 0x5C is used for YEN SIGN (currency JPY) in Japan. This code point may be used for backslash in other countries. (So, YEN SIGN should not be supported in syscons.) But now in unicode, YEN SIGN has its own code point, and safely coexists with backslash. So, enabling both in vt would be nice. And particularly for users having both FreeBSD and Windoze, matching keytop and displayed character should be important to avoid confusion. CC'ed to freebsd-users-jp list for other Japanese users. Any objections? Possibly, someone would want modifying scan code 115 instead of 125.
