I remember vaguely that this issue has been discussed some years ago.

The problem I see here is that you have two completely empty bars:

|      |     .//|//.    |       |

So it is not easy at first glance to understand what's going on here.

I use this abbreviation for my handwritten manuscripts, but here I draw
the slashes wide and slanted enough to cover all four bars.

These comments aside, it looks as if the underlying C++ routines could
indeed handle more than 2 slashes, but there is no way to call that
routine directly IIUC.

Looks promising and easy to read.
