What is problem?

0xC2 0xA5 is not correct for file name separator.

For example, input in command prompt, like dir C:\.

Also, Control-Yen is popular keybind to toggle IME ON/OFF, and Control-Yen from Microsoft Remote Desktop does not work.

In addition, this problem does not occur on Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection 2.1.1.
