Name of the '|' key ?

[Brian van der Beek]

This might seem as a strange question and a bit off topic, but I really need the official name of the '|' character/key. :-O Is it 'dash'?

I think it officially is 'bar' but I've also heard it described as 'pipe'

According to the character map utility it is called Broken Bar. Whether it is broken or not depends upon what font you select, though.
