A screen reader would read out each pipe character, resulting in a mild
annoyance I would think. Is it accessible? Sure, the device can
certainly handle the links and separator.
In the end though, the separator is a visual item, not part of the
information. The beginning and end of each link handle the separation
on that level.
That said, CSS should be used to handle that visual aspect of the links.

Agree with the list of links, and use a CSS border for a separator.
I have no evidence for you, but it sure seems to me that a pipe
character would be the opposite of best practice.

How about a list of links? If you want a separator, use some CSS
styles. But for what you are asking, you are probably looking for
an ul list.

Hello all
I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this via Google -
is it best practice to use something like the pipe character (
| ) to separate links in
a menu so that screenreader software pauses between the list
items? Any recommended articles dealing with accessible menus
in general?
