Name of Constant that ES uses for it's Title

For a while I been using a plugin called "title management" to change the title separator from a hyphen to a pipe symbol. Today I decided to try using a language over ride to accomplish the same result. The constant name was "JPAGETITLE" which allowed me to change the separator. It worked for most of my site except for EasySocial. This leads me to believe that ES uses a different constant for it's page title management. So I'm here to ask what the name of that constant is.

By doing this method I can use one less plugin and fix a "title glitch" of ES. The so called glitch I mention breaks the site title (but not the page title) when the site title is inserted via a plugin. If you folks are interested in that case, I can provide addition details.
Hello Josh,

Hm, not too sure if I understand you here but EasySocial actually modifies the page title based on it's own "titles" unless you define a page title in the menu. Can you please let me know if I missed out something?

P/S: Sorry for the delay, as I am currently outstation and the internet here is worst than a dialup!

Because this is a minor issue I've let this fly under the radar for a while. Anyways what I'm trying to accomplish is to choose my own separator for the site name with the page title (HTML element). So for example my profile currently is "Josh - Test Site". I'm trying to make it instead "Josh | Test Site". With most Joomla pages I found a single language constant that controlled the main separator for almost every page on the site. So now I'm wondering what the language constant is to replace the hyphen with the pipe symbol on ES pages.

Hello Josh,

Hm, which language constant are you using to translate the separators?

JPAGETITLE is the language constant. For the text I had to use %1$s | %2$s for the separator.

Hello Josh,

I see, perhaps we should also be using the same language constant in the future so that they all have similar separators.

That would be great. This way it's also using Joomla's standards.
