Xcode/Mac: keyboard shortcut to type the "OR" sign "||" (double vertical bar)?

Each time I have to copy paste "||" from elsewhere when I want to type the double vertical bar of the OR sign.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to type it?

I have a Macbook with Danish keyboard, and for me I use the Alt+i, to make the | operand.

That did not work for me either. But this one did:

Alt+ 7 with the Alt key on the right side of the keyboard or Ctrl + Alt + 7 with the Alt key on the left side

I am using a UK external keyboard and I had to use Shift ~.

The ~ key is next to carriage return and also has the # symbol

This site lists the shortcut as Shift+Alt+L if you use a Mac keyboard. But the "pipe" symbol does actually exist on the Mac UK keyboard so can't you just press that key twice?

Use right alt + (. The key is to the right of the ? key on my keyboard.

It is Shift + Alt + "I" for Turkish QWERTY users. Shift + Alt + "L" did not work for me, even with U.S. input source.
