The ┗ symbol, officially known as Box Drawing Heavy Up And Right, represents the thick bottom-left corner of a graphical box. Originally designed for retro text-based computing environments, it lets you draw continuous, bold-lined grids and frames using only text characters. Today, you will spot it structuring terminal outputs, mapping out directory trees, or adding geometric flair to ASCII art.
