U+002F SOLIDUS: / – Unicode

U+002F was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0000 to U+007F Basic Latin in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as slash, forward slash and virgule.

The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is narrow. In bidirectional text it is written as number separator according to the number it separates. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+002F prohibits a line break before, but allows one after it. The glyph can be confused with 29 other glyphs.

The CLDR project calls this character “slash” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: oblique, solidus, stroke, virgule, whack.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The slash is the oblique slanting line punctuation mark /. It is also known as a stroke, a solidus, a forward slash and several other historical or technical names. Once used to mark periods and commas, the slash is now used to represent division and fractions, exclusive 'or' and inclusive 'or', and as a date separator.
A slash in the reverse direction is known as a backslash.
