The ╥ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Down Double and Horizontal Single character, was originally used in legacy text-based computing to draw tables, grids, and user interfaces. Today, this distinctive shape is most famous across social media and messaging apps for its use in kaomoji (Japanese text emoticons), specifically acting as heavily crying or streaming tear eyes in faces like (╥﹏╥). It remains a staple in both retro ASCII art and modern digital expressions of sadness.
