The forward slash (English vs Japanese)


In English it's common to list multiple items as item/item/item, with the /
representing **or**.

What about in Japanese? Do I keep the forward slash, or maybe 「・」 so it would
be アイテム・アイテム・アイテム?

Context: the list will be in a GUI, probably a drop down list item with no
other verbiage around it.




The slash is not among the symbols traditionally used in punctuation in
Japanese, and _nakaguro_ “・” is the symbol for this purpose. However, the
forward slash is also common nowadays, especially when user interface of
application software is concerned.
