Bar, as per Webster's Dictionary:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bar

Quote:
a
: a straight piece (as of wood or metal) that is longer than it is wide and has any of various uses (as for a lever, support, barrier, or fastening)
windows with bars across them
a door secured by an iron bar
b
: a solid piece or block of material that is longer than it is wide
a bar of gold
a candy bar
c
: a usually rigid piece (as of wood or metal) longer than it is wide that is used as a handle or support
especially : a handrail used by ballet dancers to maintain balance while exercising
By the strict dictionary definition, you are correct, any "bar" must be rectangular. By this definition, you would also exclude anything square or triangular.
