    src/xpdev/unicode.c
    Log Message:
    CP437 0x7C is UNICODE_BROKEN_BAR (U+00A6)

    Contrary to pouplar belief CP437 does not encode US-ASCII.
    US-ASCII has UNICODE_VERTICAL_LINE (U+007C) there (which does match
    Unicode)

    Aren't you glad your C compiler didn't use CP437?
    if (x ??!??! y) is so much uglier than if (x || y)

    Of course, with C99 (or C90 with the 1995 ammendment), we would have
    seen a lot of iso646.h and the use of the or, bitor, and or_eq macros,
    and maybe that would have gotten that whole list of 11 macros promoted
    to keywords eventually (Likely in C23) since it's hard to eat just one
    peanut.

    Of course, that's all alternate history... it's unlikely that any
    compiler vendor would actually care, and | and ¦ (or | and ³ for those
    using CP437) would be "the same".

    Add explicit | to | mapping.

    It's not clear exactly what will happen if I don't, so add it just
    in case.
