Now consider the following portion of the table.

This means that MySQL converts the NOT SIGN  (Unicode U+00AC ) to sjis  code point 0x81CA and to cp932  code point 3F . ( 3F  is the question mark (“?” . This is what is always used when the conversion cannot be performed.) 

## A.11.5. What should I do if I want to convert SJIS 81CA  to cp932 ? 

Our answer is: “?” . There are disadvantages to this, and many people would prefer a “loose” conversion, so that 81CA (NOT SIGN)  in sjis  becomes 81CA (FULLWIDTH NOT SIGN)  in cp932 . 

## A.11.6. How does MySQL represent the Yen ( ¥ ) sign? 

A problem arises because some versions of Japanese character sets (both sjis  and euc ) treat 5C as a reverse solidus  ( \ , also known as a backslash), whereas others treat it as a yen sign ( ¥ ).
