I received this as the utf-8 sequence 194 166.

   require 'convert'
   hfd 194 166
C2
A6

According to http://www.utf8-chartable.de/ this corresponds to the
unicode character with the name "broken bar".  So either:

(a) the character sequence you sent does not match what I received, or
(b) your browser is not displaying utf-8 properly.

Looking at my result from 9!:6'' I am imagining that (a) is the case.
The vertical bar character I am seeing there is represented by the
character literal 25, which is a unicode control character.

That said, unicode documentation does not label this as a latin-1 character.
