I told Seki-san who maintains rwiki.jin.gr.jp and tried
to avoid this problem.  The server returned
  Content-type: text/html; charset=EUC-JP
because pages may contains Japanese.  Now it should return
 Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
when the page does not contain any 8bit chars.

Can your browser show backslashes correctly?
