U+002F "/" Solidus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+002F "/" Solidus is a fundamental punctuation mark in digital text, officially defined as a general punctuation symbol used for various purposes, including indicating division in mathematics, separating paths in file directories, and acting as a delimiter in dates and URLs. It is encoded in the Basic Latin block, sharing its code point with the ASCII character 047, and its visual representation is a simple, forward-slanting line. While commonly referred to as a forward slash or just a slash, its official Unicode name is "Solidus," a term historically used in typography to denote a shilling mark or a fraction bar, though today it is most widely recognized for structuring hierarchical identifiers and separating alternatives in written language.
