Yeah, it's actually that flagpole symbol (a straight vertical line with
a straight horizontal line at the bottom) that I'm going for and not
the vertical "pipe" (e.g. |). In my field, it's often used as a
subscript to indicate the perpendicular components of a vector relative
to some background direction. That fact is largely irrelevant since
our discussion had progressed from the specific to the general.

In the end, I think we're saying the same thing -- knowing the unicode
number isn't sufficient. You also have to know something about how the
particular font and its precise unicode implementation. If you're
feeling energetic you may consider appending something like that to
your discussion at http://dfanning.com/graphics_tips/lesign.html.
Again, many kudos to you for even having such a help page in the first
place. One would have hoped that RSI could have provided sufficient
documentation.
