    I can't find the vertical bar (|) on my keyboard to enter into the other character box. It won't let me copy & paste into the other character box either.

    On my keyboardthe | is just above the enter key. On the same key as \
    On some keyboards it is shown as 2 small verticle lines one above the other
    You can use
    Ctrl & C to copy
    Ctrl & X to cut
    Ctrl & V to paste
