ok as long as you keep the font encoding in mind

more font independent alternative:

   \define\textbar{\blackrule[width=1pt,height=1.5ex,depth=.5ex]}

>and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this?

or \definesymbol ...

or use:

   \vl \textbrokenbar

i'm not sure if \textbar is/should be in the encoding vectors ...
