Doesn't seem to be related to the code page but to the locale. With Finnish locale we use code page 850 but changing it to 437 using `chcp` had no effect. Changing locale from FI to EN resolved the problem (after I found out which key to press to get the backslash).

With Finnish keyword layout you get the backslash by pressing AltGr and the key one right from the 0 key (we have '+' there, in US layout it apparently is '-'). I figured AltGr could have something to do with the problem and did some experimenting with other keys requiring it:

- All these work fine: '$', '{', '}', '|'.
- Instead of '£' I get 'ú'.
- Getting '[' requires pressing it twice.
- Getting ']' requires first pressing '[' and then ']'.
- Getting '@' also requires first pressing '[' and then '@'.
- I actually get '\' too by first pressing '[' and then '\'!
