Probably quick and dirty, see ISO character entities and their LaTeX equivalents on page 3:
${^c\!/\!_o}$ Jim Jones
Edit: Included suggestion from Tobi’s comment having the letters c
and o
non-italicised:
$\mathrm{^c\!/\!_o}$ Jim Jones
The "c" should be level with ascenders and the "o" at the baseline; with textcomp
's \textfractionsolidus
the slash is slightly better than the normal /
; but for symmetry it can be slightly raised up.
