 * You can deactivate all of your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.
   If none are then which theme are you using?

 * The illegal character is the vertical pipe |. Although many urls have pipes, 
   and as in this case they still work, its not a good idea as it is outside the
   standard. Pipes should be expressed using the url-safe: %7C string instead. This
   works just as well and validates.
 * This utility will scan your site and produce a list of all the links. If you 
   right click on a link, a popup will tell you which pages its on. Probably all
   of them in this case.

 * As to what to do about it, it looks like you are using a theme which did not 
   come from wordpress.org, and that you have at least one premium plugin. Forum
   members generally don’t have access to this software so it may not be possible
   to help you with rectifying the issue.
 * As Andrew says, if you can switch out your theme and plugins one-by-one you may
   be able to identify which is responsible, then you can ask the relevant author
   to fix this issue in a future release.
