One answer would be to use the fact that since version 6.0 it has been
possible to use graphics objects in expressions. The following
represents A-slash + B:
Interpretation[
Graphics[{Text[Style["A", FontSize -> 14], {0, 0}],
Text[Style["/", FontSize -> 14], {0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 20],
ASlash] + B
The interpretation box ensures that the kernel 'sees' a symbol
corresponding to A-slash.
Unfortunately you would need to adjust the font size to suit the size of
the surrounding font.
