The long vertical bars in words like "F=EA=9F=BELI=EA=9F=BE" are accented= capital "I" letters,=20 transcribed as U+A7FE LATIN EPIGRAPHIC LETTER I LONGA. The accent indica= tes a=20 long "I". Common practice was to put an apex (the accent mark) over long= =20 vowels, e.g., "V=CC=81" was an accented "V" (the modern "U"). However, "= I" was an=20 exception: instead of putting an apex over an "I", people just wrote a ta= ller "I".
