wow... when i press \ it prints a \ character on the screen like so: \
where are you entering it? in a chat window? 'cause if so and your trying to do a command, try / not \ and follow it with a command eg "/me shows someome how to use a command" would print "Velvet Sledge shows someone how to use a command" and it will leave out the "Velvet Sledge says:" bit
