I want to mark a variable I with a short vertical or horizontal bar in order to relate it to something being vertical or horizontal in real life. For the vertical line, $I^shortmid$ (from amssymb) is looking very nicely, but I can't produce a horizontal line of equal length. I tried $I^rotatebox[origin=c]90$shortmid$$, however this makes the bar longer for reasons I don't understand:
Taking a different symbol like I^- and I^text- produces ugly results as well. Can someone please explain what is happening inside the rotatebox and suggest a fix? I will also appreciate any alternative markup.

You need to take care of the current math style:
documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath,amssymb,graphicx
newcommandvrtshortmid
makeatletter
newcommandhrzmathpalettehrz@relax
newcommandhrz@[2]%
mspace-1mu%
rotatebox[origin=c]90$m@th#1,vrt$%
mspace-1mu%
makeatother
begindocument
$I^hrz I^vrt$

The reason why the rotated shortmid seems larger is because the default math size setting within rotatebox would be textstyle, while it should be scripstyle if you're using it in a superscript.
You could try with the following definitions of vertical and horizontal:
documentclassarticle
usepackageamssymb,graphicx
newcommandhorizontal[1]%
#1^rotatebox[origin=c]90$scriptstyleshortmid$
newcommandvertical[1]%
#1^shortmid
begindocument
$verticalI horizontalI$
enddocument

Thank you for your explanation, now I understand what's going on. However, because @egreg proposed a more general solution and also took care of positioning, I accepted his answer.
