The | symbol can be drawn on a Palm unit as follows:

Using the "Graffiti" system, tap once and then move the
stylus straight up then straight down without lifting
(upside-down from what you would do to draw a colon).
It is the last item on the 4th screen of the Graffiti
Help screens (/G).

I use both PalmABC player and ABC Viewer quite a lot.
