So i hope this answer isnt incredibly obvious so i dont feel dumb for asking, but when i try to type a \ on my workspace document it instead shows a symbol that appears to be the Japanese symbol for yen. Definitely not a \ though. How can i get a \ to show on workspaces?

2,468 PointsHey Elliot, thanks for the response. I actually tried that already, and as soon as i paste it into workspace it becomes the weird yen symbol again. Its pretty strange. Its not the end of the world as i was able to continue the lesson, but its kind of bugging me not being able to understand why its happening.

13,086 PointsThats understandable - yet extremely weird! Does this error happen outside of workspaces also?
Taylor Daley
2,468 PointsNope, only in workspaces. Every where else, such as on here, i can type the "\" just fine.
