They are slash and backslash, but the backslash in many languages is an escape character, but that depends on the language. Also in Perl regular expressions the forward slash is used to start and end a regular expression.

Well, if not slash and backslash, then nuisance and back nuisance? Yes, there are other names as pointed out by other posts, but why complicate the issue further? Call 'em what you like, the rest of the world (or at least this country) will likely call 'em slash and back slash.

Then what DO you mean?
Slash and backslash are acceptable names for those characters or symbols.

'Forward slash' and backslash'

A slash or stroke, /, is a punctuation mark. It is also called a solidus, oblique, diagonal, separatrix, shilling mark, virgule, scratch comma, slant, or forward slash.
\= reverse solidus or a slosh

They are two iron rods, which will be hit on your head , one from left-side and the other from right-side so that your unbalanced brain will come back to its proper place and you will then ask a proper question......clear

That's exactly what they're called.
However, If you want to look like a pretentious jerk to other people, then you can call them Solidus and Reverse Solidus.
