Problem getting vertical bar with British keyboard layout on US (physical) keyboard

Hi, I've got a bit of a ridiculous problem and wasn't sure where to post it.

I need to use the vertical bar for piping in Bash but, as per the title, am using a UK layout on a US (physical) keyboard which doesn't have a key for it in the place I'd expect. I've tried using xbindkeys and Unicode (and have changed the encoding in Konsole, as well as setting 'lang' and 'LC_CTYPE', to en_GB.UTF-8) but ctrl+shift+u still doesn't work.

Would really appreciate any help. I don't want to revert to the US layout because it really disrupts my typing as I'm not used to it. The vertical bar is pretty much the only key I need that I don't have, as well.

Thanks
