Forward slash "/" not working on the form

This is unusual. If you put the cursor back into the field does the forward slash reappear?

Is there any formatting on the field? To see if there is formatting, or other actions associated with the field, activate the "Select Object" tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar and then right click on the field and select properties from the popup menu.
