How do I use the pipe symbol (vertical line) on an HP Envy x360 laptop?

I need to use the pipe symbol in a command. I can see it to the left of the L character on the same key but I can't get it to work .

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

Could you post a pic of your Keyboard since keyboard layout vary depending on the country and model

Meantime hold Shift and press the key with the pipe Symbol and check if that works

Thank you

Holding the SHIFT key and pressing the key marked L produces L. Holding fn and pressing the L key produces \

I then tried fn and SHIFT and L and it produced the pipe symbol |||||||||| Great! Solved.

PS. This page allows me to uploiad a photo but then just displays a yellow triangle when I click post.
