The slanted version is just _too_ slanted. It needs to be closer to a backslash with a minor variation on the angle than it is to a pipe (`|`). I had to swap out characters in my document a couple times to confirm that I had the right symbol—something I've never run into before with other fonts.\r\n\r\n![selection_077](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/173595/11037962/550d8ca8-8709-11e5-80d5-d3459f4d019b.png)\r\n\r\nIn reference to #142, I would even argue that if so many of the other symbols (including the forward slash) aren't morphing at all, the backslash would also be a candidate for this. On the other hand if it does get a minor shape adjustment it should be consistent across other symbols as well including the other slash direction and the pipe. And it should be subtler than it is now."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chrissimpkins/Hack/issues/comments/155103752","html_url":"https://github.com/chrissimpkins/Hack/issues/154#issuecomment-155103752","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chrissimpkins/Hack/issues/154","id":155103752,"user":{"login":"burodepeper","id":3703530,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3703530?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper","html_url":"https://github.com/burodepeper","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/burodepeper/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-09T15:56:37Z","updated_at":"2015-11-09T15:56:37Z","body":"Yup."}}
