It is meant to be a pipe as well.  The man pages are in troff format and for
some reason they used the │ to represent |.

You can prove that to yourself by going to the man page and try using │ with
the definitions given.  You'll find it won't work....but | will.

As to what it is you'll find it is a character with value 0xE2 in hex.
There are various ways of entering such characters in various OSs.
