MacBook Pro 16" Apple Silicon of the Intel ?
If Intel, sometimes an SMC Reset maybe is in order
Reset the SMC of your Mac and perform this actions 3x consecutively ( bong 1, bong2, bong 3 ) release the Keyboard combo
Apple Silicon does not have an SMC but the equal to SMCon Silicon is shutdown and wait about 30 seconds and then restart
At this point - suggest having the computer evaluated by an Apple Authorized Service Centre where they have the Special Hardware, Special Software and Special Tools to properly diagnose if this is a Hardware Issue or something else

Is it producing nothing at all? If something is appearing, what?
Is it backslash \ or forward slash / ? What you wrote is confused about that.
Does Shift / work?
Is the user using the Builtin Keyboard ?
Thank you, Tom. It was the forward slash / that didn't work and now it does without my doing anything. Another mystery of computers, I suppose.
Yes, I was using the built-in keyboard.
Now, the forward slash / works but was not for several hours. I didn't do anything to have it begin to work again. Another mystery.
For any unknown explanation, the forward slash / now is working. I didn't do anything-waited a day and it returns.
