The └ symbol, officially known as Box Drawing Light Up and Right, is a legacy computing character originally used to build text-based graphical user interfaces. Today, it is most commonly used in terminal applications and command-line tools to visually map out file directory trees. You will also spot it in online forums, documentation, and social media to clearly connect threaded replies or diagram branching paths.
