If I type it in between these parentheses -> () the backward slash inside the parentheses is removed. As you see it is not there. However if I surround it with spaces ( \ ), then it is rendered correctly.

What happens is that the backslash is interpreted as an escape character for the )
parenthesis (as it's used in Markdown for things like links).
If you want to type a literal backslash without using backticks for code
, double it instead.
(\\)
→ (\)
\
.code block
(surrounded by`
s).\
