C-/ is a key sequence, but it is not a character sequence. The
character sequence Emacs expects is the single character with octal
value 037. Almost all terminals send this character when the key
sequence C-_ is typed. Many terminals also send this sequence when
typing C-- (unshifted _) or C-7 or sometimes even C-/. The Windows
Console "terminal" supports none of these extra key sequences.
If you really miss typing C-/, I recommend using PuTTYcyg instead of the
console window.
