Good day Stefano,

The one I tested with was something like :
Jim\Nancy

I made this up while testing. But I have seen similar in real world
scenarios particularly in ASS files originating from subtitles that are
“summarized”. In legacy content this is common, to fit content in a 4:3
screen the subtitle writer would shorten or abbreviate what is spoken on
the screen and slashes are a replacement for “and”.

Hope this helps.
