I get the ¦ (broken line) character in Win95 by pressing ALT + the key
left of "1" and I get the | (unbroken line) character in Win95 by
pressing SHIFT and the key left of "Z".
In Dos it's the opposite, the solid line won't compile but the broken
one will.

Try adding this line to your Autoexec.bat file, obviously make sure
you've got a keyboard.sys in your command folder.
keyb uk,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

And this one to your config.sys file,
install=c:\windows\command\keyb.com uk,,c:\windows\command\keyboard.sys
