Suggestion: \/ Used to adjust space between a slanting (italic, oblique, (symbol </>)) glyph and an upright one (symbol <|>), or pictorially: </>\/<|>. Or to remember: the slanting line segments are alternating and a slanting line segment is next to <|>. \, Used to adjust space between an upright glyph (symbol <|>) an a slanting one (symbol </>, or pictorially: <|>\,</>.
