The "standard" (who defines the standard?) UK keyboard layout includes both ¦ and |.

Like most European keyboard layouts, there are several symbols available using AltGr, but only ¦ and € are printed on the keys. ¦ is AltGr+`.

¦ is even more useless than Shift+`, which gives ¬. At least I used ¬ when I was studying logic.

This had its own discussion a little while ago:

Oh interesting, totally missed that one.

Checking my immediate surroundings, it's also like that (separate lines) on the HP keyboard (KU-0316) I'm using. In other words, it's pretty standard. (Amazon has a pic: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-HP-Hewlett-Packard-KU-0316-Ke... )

But on the Macbook keyboard (US layout, circa 2015 if it matters) it's a solid line.
