Hi..
+71|6989|Here.
Its called a pipe. Used in DOS to send commands to another command.

For me, its on the \ button, below the enter button, accessed by pressing shift.

I know that in Linux/Unix the pipe is very useful.  For example to find a process that is running you would use ps- ef|bf2.  This basically searches all the processes that are running and looks for the ones that contain BF2.  Another thing that I did not think about until I looked at computerhope.com, is that in programming a double pipe (||) can be used as the OR operator.  So, you can say somthing like if (x=something) || (y=everything), it can make programming a little quicker, and easier.
