The CLDR project labels this character “division slash” for use in screen reading software. It assigns additional tags, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: slash, stroke, virgule.
This character is distinct from U+2044 FRACTION SLASH. It is
intended to represent the operation of dividing, not an actual fraction. For a

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The slash is the oblique slanting line punctuation mark /. Also known as a stroke, a solidus, a forward slash or several other historical or technical names including oblique and virgule. 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.
