"\" means a diagonal line from the top left to the botton right (or the reverse). It is just the physical shape of the slash that you use as a gesture, i.e. a diagonal line. "Down" means you start at the top left and go down to the bottom right, "Up" is the reverse direction. "/" is a diagonal line from the top right to the bottom left (or the reverse).
