Comment:

 "|" isn't a valid username character in !WordPress. If you try to register
 as P|ng|n in 3.4.2, you'll get an error message:
 {{{
 ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please
 enter a valid username.
 }}}

 Current valid characters are listed in `sanitize_user()`: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.4.2/wp-
 includes/formatting.php#L881

 You can, however, set your display name to whatever you like, including
 P|ng|n or sk|Okimi.

 If you still need your users to be able to register with "|" character in
 usernames for some reason, `sanitize_user` filter can be used for that.
 See an example plugin in #18666.
