Tell that to my WINDOZE ME. It refuses to generate the pipe character
("|") in a DOZE box. I suspect this is because I can't set COUNTRY
and/or use DISPLAY.SYS in CONFIG.SYS.

As piping is rather fundamental this is a showstopper for serious use
of bash.

(And yes in NOTEPAD the pipe character can be generated.)
