“& gt;” is for greater than
and
“& lt;” is for less than
Is there any ampersand characters like the above for “slash” or “back slash” not only “greater than” and “less than”?
HI there joon1,

Perhaps we should have a competition of special characters 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Are you sure this is a PHP question? Or is it a HTML question? I assume it is a HTML question and @coothead’s assumption is accurate.
It is far less likely that we need to escape slash and backslash. The reason why < and > is used so often is that < and > are critical parts of HTML.
Note that you can use a Numeric character reference when you do not know the Character entity reference (ampersand character).
