If you are just trying to echo "ccc", you don't need the "|". Just
use "echo ccc".

"echo | ccc" takes the output from the echo command (which is "ECHO
is on." or "ECHO is off.") and sends it as input to some program
called "ccc." The command processor is looking for ccc.exe, ccc.bat,
ccc.com, etc., and when it can't find it, tells you.

"ccc" is an executable file? That is what your command assumes.

If you are trying to echo the literal string including the Pipe symbol,
(which has specisal meaning), you need to "escape" it.

echo ^| ccc
or
echo/^| ccc
