While I was looking into JDK-7147705, I found escape sequences with backslash, such as \t, are not compiled correctly in ko_KR.CP949 locale. If you specify -encoding CP949 on Linux, the compiled binary doesn't produce TAB correctly. I suspect there may be a similar backslash problem with MS932.

closed/java/util/Calendar/CalendarTestScripts/JapaneseRollTests.sh fails due to this problem. But the reported locale in JDK-7147705 is "hidi", which I don't know of, not ko_KR.CP949.
