I doubt that'll paste right. but regarding the second slash formula:
me and my girlfriend believe that the _ is a division sign. where the first half of it gets divided by the second half of it. if that was true, what would the backslash-forward slash be? the section that looks like a V? because ^ is multiplication, V would be division.
So is the underscore separating it into two pieces or is it division?

It may mean more to our code breakers than me.
I mentioned that I think the code is LEET or 1337. Well~
Pi * 1337% = 42
Here is an explanation that makes a tiny bit of sense. With emphasis on the word tiny!!!!
π% = π/100
π/100 times 1337 is approximately 42 (it's accurate to 4 significant figures)
1337 Is leetspeak for leet which is short for elite.
42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life the Universe and Everything.

Hi John,
We solved this a few days ago. It was decoded to 9351.
The underscore symbol stands for square root.

There's been three operands so far, forward slash followed by pipes is addition. Pipes followed by forward slashes is subtraction. Forward slashes followed by backslashes is multiplication. Division has never been defined in the code, I believe. We are also missing squaring, which my theory is, is denoted by the brackets. Earlier, Avatar thought the underline was square root, but it didn't add up to anything other than common knowledge. The code at the bottom where the asterisks are, denotes the third "key", as the first three keys are labeled in the source code. (Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to post the characters, easier to spell them out. :lol
Since six Major functions of basic mathematics are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and squaring and rooting numbers, I kinda like your idea of the underline being division, and I am favoring the theory of the brackets being the squaring function. Any thoughts from the math people out there?
