Further note that if you add --color, you can see the difference:
$ ls -Fd --color=always / // | od -tc
0000000 033 [ 0 m 033 [ 3 8 ; 5 ; 2 7 m / 033
0000020 [ 0 m / \n 033 [ 3 8 ; 5 ; 2 7 m /
0000040 / 033 [ 0 m / \n
0000047
The file name you typed is colored, while the trailing / indicator added
by -F is not colored.
