Those questions don't seem relevant to this fasttrack. How a name in the file system came to contain a / would be an issue for the local operating system and/or the local file system.
For the purpose of this fasttrack, if a file name returned by the local file system contained a / it would be converted, as indicated by the translation table, to 0x00f8 before that name is propagated to a Windows client. The left column of the table represents the list of characters that are illegal in Windows file names. There is no requirement that these characters be legal on any file system.
