In emacs org-mode, we can use mark-ups to set Emphasis and monospace.
e.g.
*bold*
/italic/
How can we make a word both bold and italic?
It seems neither */.../* nor /*...*/ works.

Expanding on @Chris answer covering semantics being there, if you're interested in visible fontification effect inside your org notes, you have three approaches:
Nesting works nicely as long as you don't need to start / end two tags at once.
The closest you can get is
The code is:
*\ /\ _\ ~fontification can be nested~\_\/\*
So you need \
(backslash and space) to escape following opening tags and \
(backslash) to escape following closing tags.
The need for space is annoying, and in it looks like this when exported to html:
So yes, you can have multiple mark-ups at once, but you have to choose between seeing the effect in emacs or having it nicely formated on export.
Alternatively you could change how mark-up looks in emacs without modyfing exporting format, i.e. to make bold look red you'd need this:
(add-to-list 'org-emphasis-alist
'("*" (:foreground "red")
))
as covered in this great question and answer.
In fact, both of these do work.
exports to HTML as
*/test/*
works similarly. LaTeX / PDF export also works as you expect.Org itself doesn't fontify both the bold and italic, but the semantics are fine.
