The @ and | characters need to be under System -> Global Configuration -> Site -> Site Name, not in the address
Cannot replicate, PHP 8.1.8.
Confirmed - testers - when ou change the site name don't forget to save global config before sending the test mail
my bad i've only changed the email

- As I know, Joomla is using XML file for fields. For example: "Site Name" field is at Joomla_4.3.2-Stable-Full_Package/administrator/components/com_config/forms/application.xml
https://docs.joomla.org/text_form_field_type
- How to use special characters in XML
https://www.dvteclipse.com/documentation/svlinter/How_to_use_special_characters_in_XML.3F.html
In theory, because XML syntax uses some characters for tags and attributes. It is not possible to directly use those special characters inside XML tags or attribute values.
To include special characters inside XML files, you must use the numeric character reference instead of that character. The numeric character reference must be UTF-8 because the supported encoding for XML files is defined in the prolog as encoding="UTF-8" and should not be changed.
For example:
| is Vertical bar, displayed as |
@ is At, displayed as @
- So to avoid misunderstanding for users, you can give some instructions as you did for "Toggle Inline Help" button. Because some cases, for example, xxx@xxx|xxx (a pair @ and |), by accident, XML file can not parse correctly as expected
