VIRGULE 

 

A virgule (also called a diagonal, slash, slash mark, or solidus) is a slanted line (/) used between two words to suggest that they are alternatives (and/or), between the parts of a fraction (1/2), or for other typographical purposes, such as indicating line endings when verse is quoted without indentation, within a regular prose paragraph. Slanted in the other direction (\), these marks are sometimes used to enclose phonemes, and in computer applications, where they are called back slashes or backslashes, they are used in certain commands.
