On a PC: If you have an extended keyboard, the \ character should be on the key underneath the Backspace key and next to the key with the ] symbol. If you don't have that keyboard, press and hold down the left Alt key, then on the numeric pad type the numbers 9 and 2 in succession.

On a Mac: Most keyboards have the \ character in the same position as PC keyboards. If not, hold down the Shift key, then press and hold the Alt key, and finally press the forward-slash (/) key.

On an iPad: If you're using the virtual keyboard, select numeric mode (the "?123" key), then the extended-symbol key ("#+=") to display the keyset containing the \ character.
