Try SHIFT + (key to the left of Z)

If that doesn't work try CTRL + SHIFT + (key to the left of Z)

I reckon you're up on the numbers row...could be wrong...go down to the bottom left of the letters row

shift and the symbol above the backslash should do it for you m8

|

it actually looks like 2 small lines on the key

lol give me a bit of respect i know what the SHIFT key is!!

control shift doesnt do it, any other ideas?

[turbobloke]

No, I'm not telling you where the SHIFT key is, I was asking you to use it!

I reckon you're on the numbers row?

Try the key to the left of Z, it's not SHIFT on my keyboard and maybe yours too, it's | the one you need

If still no use ... well just trying to help!

I have no idea why | looks like this on screen when the key looks more like ¦

and the ¦ key gives out |

keyboard lay out changes a bit too, on my laptop the | key is next the space bar.


still, you've sorted it now

Maybe so it does not look the same as the "i" key?

A lot of it is to do with having a US-market keyboard layout, but telling Windows that you're in the UK. On my (US-spec cos it was cheap) Logitech wirelss, the " and @ are reversed, the # symbol is a £ and the symbol you're on about doesn't work at all!

You'll be telling us you have a Euro symbol next...
