/Slash ⁄Fraction slash ∕Division slash/Fullwidth solidus


The slash is an oblique slanting line.
Unicode encodes it in four separate forms: the Punctuation mark solidus (/) or virgule, its East Asian equivalent the fullwidth solidus (/), the mathematical operator division slash (∕), and the mathematical mark fraction slash (⁄).
Once used to mark periods and commas, the slash is now most often used to represent exclusive or inclusive or, division and fractions, and as a date separator.
It has several other historical or technical names.
