Usage Guide

Slash vs Backslash vs Division Slash

Forward slash (/): Used in URLs, file paths (Unix/Mac), fractions (3/4), and dates (12/25). The standard solidus U+002F.

Fraction slash (⁄): U+2044 — typographically distinct from the solidus, used to build proper fractions like ¾ when combined with numerators/denominators.

Division slash (÷): U+2215 — the mathematical division operator, visually similar to / but semantically distinct for math contexts.

Backslash (\): Used in Windows file paths and as an escape character in programming. The reverse solidus U+005C. Not interchangeable with forward slash.

URL note: URLs always use forward slash (/). Using a backslash in a URL is incorrect, though some browsers auto-correct it.
