How is | typed?

Hullo,
I have searched this site and the web, danced my finger over the keyboard holding shift and/or alt then every other modifyer key in various combinations. To no avail.

I did find some interesting things such as an apple and the encyclopædia dramatica logo (I cant be bothered to look for it's proper name), but no|.

I have a British keyboard and appropriate setting.

Please help.

Thanks

On a US keyboard, it's shift-backslash. What happens if you do that on your UK one?

Edit: That also works for me if I manually change the layout to British (and I know that the change has worked because shift-3 gives £ now).

Looks like it's right next to the left Shift key.

Lol man, I was so lost, looking at my keyboard like "its right there! I must be missing something!" 🙄

Ok, I'll bite

If you couldn't find the key on your keyboard, how did you get it in the title and the post? You don't say that you used a different one.

Copy and paste?
