In contrast, on the Spanish keyboard, backslash is AltGr º

Scaled onto a US 104-key keyboard, that's the same physical keys as
right-alt `

The pipe, OTOH is AltGr 1  (right-alt 1)

So the original person who pointed out how much the layout matters had a very 
valid point.  (Programming, or even working from a command line must be 
tedious for a lot of the world.  cd [shift-7] usr [shift-7] local [shift-7] a 
[AltGr º][space] name [AltGr º][space] with [AltGr º][space] spaces )

Gah.
