I mean the pipe character |.
I know one method is to use ssh to connect to N900 and input it in PC side. But is there any direct way to do it?

Thanks!

The on-screen keyboard is OK for occasional use but slows you down.

If your typing uses lots of non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. shell scripting) then this thread will help.

I have my terminal set up so that | ~ < > PgUp PgDn { } [ ] are all accessible as 'soft keys' from the bottom key bar without needing to open the virtual keyboard.

As already said, you can simply use the Symbol keyboard: call it by pressing the blue arrow and then Ctrl (Sym).

If your Sym keyboard hasn't the | symbol, then you can manually edit it and add all the symbols you want, just install Modify Your On-Screen Keyboard Layouts (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/scv-reader/).

BTW version v0.0.2-2 of that app has an annoying bug, so you should use the perfectly functional version in Extras-Testing: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...reader/0.0.4-1

Hi, thank all of you for your help!
I found the reason why I cannot activate the on screen keyboard. I installed MSCIM for my mother tongue input, and it 'take over the input interface from the default hildon input method.' The link below clarifies it, #21.

However, your methods are useful as well. I will try them when necessary.

You can remap your hw keyboard. There is an article about in the wiki.

For example, you could create an Fn key combination to do this.

Yesterday just looked in echo manpage and found it out
Code:
echo -e '\0174'
