A mark of punctuation ( \ ) introduced in 1960 as a deliberate way to convert two ALGOL symbols ("up" and "down" carets) into ASCII by using the new backslash and its traditional opposite number, the virgule or slant ( / ):
\/ - or - /\ for example.
The backslash went on to find use in early UNIX programs and today is party of a typical QWERTY keyboard, usually to the right of the bracket (and braces) keys. Other terms for the mark include slosh, reverse virgule, and reverse slash.

If I see a backslash ( \ ) at the end of the line, does it mean go to the next line or go to the next term?

the word stands for everything that I love. It means to be 1337, hot, sweet, and every other emotion you can possibly feel at once. And.. it's a neat looking button on your keyboard.
