What’s typed instead of a question mark if you forget to press shift

SLASH

This symbol sits next to the period on a standard keyboard and often appears in web addresses or file paths.

This clue plays on how keyboards work—when you forget to hold Shift while typing a question mark, you accidentally hit the key next to it, which is the forward slash. The word "slash" itself is also the name of that symbol (/), making it a double-layered hint. It’s a clever way to turn a common typo into a crossword answer.
