U+007C Vertical Line

U+007C was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0000 to U+007F Basic Latin in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as vertical bar and pipe.

The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+007C offers a line break opportunity after its position. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The CLDR project calls this character “vertical line” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: bar, line, pike, pipe, sheffer stroke, stick, stroke, vbar, vertical bar.
