It shows  |  i.e. ASCII 124. I also experimented with using  ⎪ (unicode
9130 decimal) and  ksh  takes it literally i.e. it matches itself. I think
it would be good if you examined the source code of the man page. If it
really has  ⎪  then it's a bug. If it doesn't then the bug is with one
of the tools of the man pipeline which translate the page.
