wp redirect - Overiding wp_sanitize_redirect for

I am not really conversant with php and I have an issue with wp_sanitize_redirect. I have seen this excellent question and answer:

wp_sanitize_redirect strips out @ signs (even from parameters) -- why?

How do I override this method Wordpress so that I can pass the | as part of a URL and it not get stripped out?

I am using the latest 5.x edition of Wordpress.

There was another solution. I looked here:

https://www.w3schools/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

And it stated the encoded value for a | character was %7C so I was able to use that in my redirection URLs.
