"/" symbol in fill in the blank style question

Botttom Line Up Front: We need to be able to use the / symbol in an answer for fill in the blank style questions.

The question deals with subnetting and we need to be able to answer it with a network ID / CIDR notation.

Answer looks like this: " 110.110.110.0/24 " but the fill in the blank content type sees that as 110.110.110.0 or 24.

Is there a way to boolean logic & the two? Or maybe if we had a wildcard option in this content type (see previous post requesting this addition).

Thanks for your time!

character assignment in source code for / and *

BV52 - Can you provide me with the source code location where the / and * are defined?...I'm guessing in the GitHub source at: https://github.com/h5p/h5p-question-set
We could temporarily change that character definition to an unrequired character on our side, until a more long-term solution is developed.
