Does it have to do with Unix? cause we used that character a lot to pipe output of a command to another....hopefully this makes sense, its been a while.

Don't know. Just a stab in the dark, but maybe because it's used to pass results of one command to another? I thought of this due to linux. e.g. grep * | ls

answer: its a "pipe" because in unix shell | lets you pipe out put of commands to other commands. So say you have some text files and you're looking for something particular
cat * | grep stuff_you_need
this will print out the contents of all the files into the outstream and pipe it to grep that will only print several lines around the stuff_you_need
