    Shift \ = |
    AltGr ` = ¦

    Contrary to what's printed on all keyboards... interesting.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Simply hold down alt and play with the numpad numbers.
    for some you hold the numbers down together, others you press the numbers in a sequence (all while holding alt mind) for example:

    hold alt and press -
    • 3 and 5 (together) gives - ☼
    • 7,4 and 5 in sequence gives - Ú


    then just play around and you get different ones.
