Pronounced "pipe". In a UNIX shell, it is used to redirect the standard output (stdout) of a command to the standard input (stdin) of the next.

ALso, in C, C++ and others, it is the symbol for the logical expression 'or'.

$ ls | grep e
^^^ outputs all entries in current directory that have the letter 'e'. Takes output of 'ls' and supplies that as the pattern grep looks for.

this || that
^^^ literally resolves to "this or that"
