I have my MacBook late 2008 sometimes running Windows 7 via BootCamp. Update: ItThe keyboard has thea German layout. Pretty much like the Wikimedia image below except that the blue symbols in the lowest line are not accessible.

enter image description here

How could I enter the vertical bar | via my keyboard?

Unfortunately Right Alt + < does not seem to work. (However, I can enter @ with Right Alt + qQ et al. as I can do on external keyboards.)   

Update2: From what I can tell from the languages settings, the Windows layout is missing the <-key between Left Shift and Y. What layout would provide it?

enter image description here

Update 3: On a co-workers current MacBook Pro its working as expected.

I'd also be happy with some comments suggesting ways to have it entered. I'm tiered of copying it from Wikipedia every time.
