English Wikipedia has an article on:

Template:Pipe

This is an auxiliary template that allows one to encode "|" (the pipe character) without it being interpreted as Wiki markup. It is designed to be easier to remember than having to memorize the HTML entity for the pipe (|).

Please do not use ǀ (which produces ǀ) for this purpose, since it may not work in all web browsers. It is also slightly smaller than the normal pipe character.
