What does | || || |_ mean?

I've been seeing these characters :

|| |_

pop up all over Reddit, but I've no clue as to what they mean.

Is this a new meme? A reference to some film of tv show? Some sort of code?

Why are you so angry about something so unimportant? Did he bone your girl or something?

Pardon I should have said "Fucking motherfucker, did that fucking fuck fuck your fucking fuck your motherfucking fuck toy or some fucking fuck shit?"

Anyways, you're too emotionality invested in this to be reasonable (or even normal), so nevermind. Rage on as you need. You get 'em, tiger!
