⁄ ∕ 🙼 auto \:/ / / \ / ⧸ ／ Translingual slash mul The entry is too English for being Translingual, several meanings could be English instead of Translingual. Another example besides the labels: In German the conjunction for "exclusive or" is not more proscribed than the conjunction for "inclusive or". It might also be so in English, as it could be that "s/he" and (maybe: *) "wo/man" are proscribed, while "she/he" and "man/woman" are just sometimes proscribed. Etymology The various uses of the present symbol derive from several sources. The medieval virgule (la virgula) was an oblique or vertical line that served as a comma, period, and caesura mark and is still used in literary contexts to mark line breaks in verse. (This mark separately developed as the comma ⟨,⟩ and caesura mark ⟨‖⟩ and some senses of the vertical bar ⟨mul⟩.) The shilling mark (la solidus) was variously written s. or as the long s ſ. This eventually developed into a single unpunctuated slash; its use to separate shillings from pence was sometimes generalized to any currency division. Most mathematical senses derived from the earlier horizontal fraction bar (as in 12, usually attributed to Arabic mathematician al-Hassar), rewritten with a slash by the 18th century to permit fractions to be written on a single line. As a separator and conjunction, it represents an oblique form of the dash ⟨–⟩ or hyphen ⟨-⟩. Its use to mark supposed actions derives from command formatting in online chat forums, while its use to comment on preceding text derives from its use in some programming languages to form closing tags. Its present British name en stroke derives from its use in telegraphy; its present American name en slash gained wide currency from its use in computing.

Usage notes The mark was originally known as the en virgula or en virgule in its medieval use as a form of period or comma. It is now defined by Unicode and ISO as the en solidus, a late-19th-century British term for the shilling mark. (Some typographers mistaken label this mark as the en virgule and distinguish the en solidus as the fraction slash ⟨⁄⟩, but neither historical nor present official use supports such a distinction.) The mark is now generally known by the American term en slash or en forward slash, although still frequently known as a en stroke in British English. For translations and less common English names, see en slash. In most uses such as to indicate date separations and line breaks, the mark is not mentioned when the text is read aloud. In some cases, it is replaced by a term, such as “even” for currency or “out of” for totals.
