The value (0.22) is stated in μF and the tolerance (± 20 %) appears after the “/” character. The voltage rating (250) precedes the “_” character which indicates that the rating is for DC rather than AC. Hence the capacitor has a value, tolerance and working voltage of 0.22 μF, ± 20 %, 250 V DC, respectively.
