I am using a German keyboard, no remapping, and ⌥⇧/ (Alt-S[hift]-7) (S-7 is /) gives the desired \. Just as in any other programme.

GNU Emacs 29 understands Unicode, and Apple keyboards or those built into a MacBook seem to produce Unicode – at least it's that what the Key Codes utility (in AppStore or https://manytricks.com/keycodes/, where the Key Down event produces clearly a two bytes Unicode character) shows as being translated from the key's key code.

In GNU Emacs you can type C-u C-x = on a displayed character (including SPACE, TAB, NEWLINE, etc.) to determine its text properties. Possibly more important is C-h k. This allows you to compare what Key Codes sees and is translated into by your system and what GNU Emacs receives as translation of the key press or key release event.
