WinAppDriver replace / for \u002f character (Encoding)

[diegomeneses1]

At run time, the driver replaces the "/" character for "\u002f" and generates problems for search objects through xpath.

Example
My code in java is:

"// * [@ AutomationId = 'Buttonx']"

The error generated on WinAppDriver is:
"Error, no souch element"
"using": "xpath"
"value": "" /u002f /u 002f * [@ AutomationId = 'Buttonx'] ""
