Apparently, KDE/Dolphin developers have taken care of this by automatically
replacing a slash character (ASCII forward slash, /, U+002F) with a similar
looking character (fraction slash,  ⁄ , U+2044) in filenames, while treating it
as a path separator, and automatically creating a sub-directory in folder
names.
This is an intentional design choice (which I think is a good one).
For example, below is a terminal output to demonstrate it - after entering the
name "Text/File.txt" to create a new text file in the user home directory, and
then creating a folder named "Text", and another new text file named "file.txt"
there, with different contents. You can see how forward slash was automatically
replaced with fraction slash by Dolphin behid the scene in file 1:

file1="$(find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*File*")"
file2="$(find ./Text -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*File*")"

echo "$file1"
./Text⁄File.txt

echo "$file2"
./Text/File.txt

cat "$file1"
This file is under my "$HOME" directory, and is named "Text⁄File.txt"
Its full path is: "$HOME/Text⁄File.txt" (not "$HOME/Text/File.txt")

cat "$file2"
This file is under the directory "$HOME/Text", and is named "File.txt"
Its full path is: "$HOME/Text/File.txt"
