> Can't help with the "How to type one"

  That's not what Bogdan means with “to generate”; he means to actually
insert the character in the text stream, since one might worry that when
typing a character actually calls a macro that is supposed to insert
that same character into the text, the macro would be called
recursively.  A legitimate concern; but fortunately that doesn't happen.

  Do you call the vertical bar a solidus?  In Unicode that's how the
slash is called (/).
