More info...it turns out to have nothing to do with the slashes. The text is not being rendered because it overlaps the edge of the tile. Is there any way to force partial rendering up to the tile edge?

I'm using a TextSymbolizer to add labels to the icons I'm rendering with PointSymbolizer. Each point in my shapefile has an attribute ("ID") and the TextSymbolizer is configured to render this field. Most of the points have IDs of the format "XYZ", and these are rendered correctly. However, a minority of points have IDs of the format "ABC/XYZ", and for these, the text isn't rendered (the icon image is rendered alone). Are forward slashes not allowed in shapefile field values that are to be rendered as text labels? Eric France
