XPath contains() conditional meaning?

I am trying to interpret the meaning of the following condition:

<xsl:when test="contains($name,'|') or contains($name,'%7c') or contains($name,'%7C')">

Does the above checking whether the variable name has | in it OR has 7 lower case characters OR 7 uppercase characters?

No, it checks whether $name contains any of the specified, literal substrings: | or %7c or %7C.

See XML XPath Language (XPath), Version 1.0, W3C Recommendation:

Function: boolean contains(string, string)

The contains function returns true if the first argument string contains the second argument string, and otherwise returns false.
