Ah, that makes sense. Good to know, thanks again!

inputenc does nothing with xelatex, inputenc is a package for
pdflatex.
xelatex has a quite different font system. There your input should
simply work. You need \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} **only** for pdflatex.

Re: [tex4ht] error in rendering vertical bar and angle brackets
Thank you, Ulrike, `fontenc` worked for me. But I would emphasize that
`inputenc` *did* work with `xelatex`, suggesting that it is a problem, of
sorts, with `text4ht`. I don't remember why I had set it up to use
`inputenc` instead of `fontenc`; perhaps it had something to do with `bidi`
or the Arabic font I was using in other documents (the one I am currently
working on does not use Arabic script, so I haven't tested that).
In any case, thanks for the fix.
Best wishes,
Alex

This is not related to tex4ht. You would get this in latex too. The
default fontencoding OT1 is a bit restricted and has chars in odd
places.
You need either \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} or should use a command like
\textbar.

Re: [tex4ht] error in rendering vertical bar and angle brackets
Dear Michal,
Here is an example:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Hello |
\end{document}
```
Perhaps `inputenc` has something to do with it? When I compile it with
`xelatex`, the bars come out correctly as vertical bars.
Best wishes,
Alex
