This is the ultimate form of "ok" (in the disdainful sense), where the letter "k" doesn't even suffice how much you don't give two damns. "|" is simply the letter K but without the two strokes (chevron?) on the right.
Used only when 'k' doesn't help cut it.

Example:
Some random e-girl on kik: Hey handsome, wanna see videos of me while I play with myself?
Me: No
E-girl: But it's only $60, and if you could reeeeally spoil me some more, I'll even throw in some close up pics😘😜😋
Me: |
Expanding brain meme example:
Okay - No brain activity
Ok - Mild brain activity
K - Huge brain activity
| - Brain literally transcends into a higher level of consciousness

Used for adding the most physiologically extreme emphasis to a sentence. It is many times more intense than an exclamation point. By adding this at the end of a sentence you are implying that you are exclaiming so intensely that you have destroyed your vocal chords. Two or more of these at the end of a sentence is unnecessary as that would mean you have destroyed two or more sets of vocal chords which is not possible.
