to obtain a "|" on a french keyboard, you have to do <AltGr> + <-> (the key holding the 6 on a US keyboard, above the <y>).
So, in CLI, when *I* type "foo | bar", most of the time, the space after the pipe is in fact <AltGr> + <Space>, so it is turned into an unwanted nbsp.

I'm not a typographer so I prefer to set "Space key outputs usual space at any levels" in Keyboard Layout Options.
It works fine in X but unfortunately not in console/tty.

At the very least, if reverting that Right CTRL mapping is not wanted, will it be possible to have a knob in the Keyboard Layout Options panel to restore Right CTRL = Left CTRL ?
