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.
