Which software is doing this?
groff see man groff_char(7)
The bash manpage has source: [\fBtime\fP [\fB\-p\fP]] [ ! ] \fIcommand\fP [ [\fB|\fP\(bv\fB|&\fP] \fIcommand2\fP ... ]
that produces: [time [-p]] [ ! ] command [ [|⎪|&] command2 ... ] - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - ^ Which *may* look right on your display or not
The char over my carat, that seems to be what "(bv" in the source is being mapped to, is a U+23AA, which is a full-height vertical line used in box-drawings.
It stuck out because 2/3 of my displays showed a "�" or empty box for that char.
It doesn't seem to be that common, not to mention *semantically incorrect*. It would be better, I think, if the software matched "(bv" to a presentation form for a vertical bar.
Presuming that half-width is preferable over full-width, (though it may not make a difference, now that I think about it) to use U+FFE8, "￨" -- a half-width light vertical bar that is taller than 0x7f (at least in the fonts I am seeing it with). Putting the logical or in the middle with the halfwidth vertical light on either side of it: looks like (with a few repeats): "￨|￨ ￨|￨ ￨|￨ ￨|￨".
Is that SW troff or nroff or what? Is that something that is configured upstream?
tnx...
