Hi Natalie! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

The vertical line means: "for which holds that".
So it reads as: the set of all X for which holds that X is not an element of itself.

It's part of the set-builder-notation.

While equivalent to what I like Serena posted, I was taught (in the context of set builder notation) it means "such that." :)
