As an information point, there are three vertical bar characters that have
been mentioned in this thread. Their Unicode code points and names can be
seen as follows:

$ perl -le 'use utf8;print ord "|"'
124
$ perl -le 'use utf8;print ord "¦"'
166
$ perl -le 'use utf8;print ord "│"'
9474
$
$ perl -le 'use charnames();print charnames::viacode(124)'
VERTICAL LINE
$ perl -le 'use charnames();print charnames::viacode(166)'
BROKEN BAR
$ perl -le 'use charnames();print charnames::viacode(9474)'
BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL
$

On my UK keyboard, I can get the first with Shift-\, the second with
AltGr-Shift-\, and I have no idea how to get the third.
