Am I supposed to use an &-code for backslash?

No, you don't need to use an entity reference for backslashes. This
is the WWW, not MS-DOS - backslashes are nothing special here.

That said, I see the same thing on your page, and found other pages
for which back slashes are correctly displayed. It's worth noting that
those sites used valid HTML and "standards mode" rendering. Your page
lacks a doctype declaration, so it triggers "quirks mode," and has a
few HTML errors as well. So, the first thing I'd suggest is to add a
"standards mode" doctype at the top of the page, and fix the validation
errors - that may clear up the problem.
