I recommend to use an overlay anchor.

First add an "overlay" through the Anchor manager. This dialog is available through the main menu -> Font -> Anchor Manager.

Then make sure you have these three characters in your font:
Latin capital letter O ($4F)
Combining long solidus overlay ($0338)
Oslash ($D8)

Design both O and Solidus.
Then add a overlay base anchor to the O and a overlay mark anchor to the Solidus.

Finally add this formula (Edit -> Custom Formula) to OSlash:
O+soliduslongcomb
