I presume you don't have it on your keyboard. It has the ASCI code of 92, so you can generate it by holding the ALT key down and typing 092 on the numeric keypad, which may be marginally quicker than Insert | Symbol.
Hope this helps.

I use the key just below the 'Backspace' key. If used with Shift returns the pipe sign.
In Denmark we use ALT GR + the key left to the Z key which also us used for 'larger than' and 'less than' sign with/without SHIFT key.
