print backslash to LCD #22

Description

Hi.

I'm simply trying to create a spinning line effect with these symbols: | / - \

I saw in the docs that it was a few exceptions

0x5C is a Yen symbol instead of backslash

This is the code I'm using:

# write a command to lcd
def lcd_write(self, cmd, mode=0):
	self.lcd_write_four_bits(mode | (cmd & 0xF0))
	self.lcd_write_four_bits(mode | ((cmd << 4) & 0xF0))
	
# put string function
def lcd_display_string(self, string, line):
	if line == 1:
		self.lcd_write(0x80)
	if line == 2:
		self.lcd_write(0xC0)
	if line == 3:
		self.lcd_write(0x94)
	if line == 4:
		self.lcd_write(0xD4)

	for char in string:
		self.lcd_write(ord(char), Rs)

string = "\\"
lcd.lcd_display_string(string, 1)

Are there any ways to print a backslash?
