How to make a directory name with '/' in it?

[Peng Yu]

I tried the following command to create a dir with '/' in the name.
But it only create a directory with name 'm'. Is there a way to make a
directory with '/' in the name?

mkdir m\/\/

   There are two characters that cannot be in a file or directory
   name: / and NUL.
