We were trying to prevent a pipe character from announcing. We wrapped it in a span and provided the span with aria-hidden. It didn't announce with JAWS or NVDA, nor with VO using VO + arrow. However, browsing with Quick Nav, or when mousing over the pipe, VO announced "vertical line."
Are these expected behaviors or is this a bug?

Why does VO announce a pipe character wrapped in a span with aria-hidden
