The ┢ symbol, officially named Box Drawing Up Heavy And Right Down Light, is a typographic character used to build text-based borders and tables. It forms a right-facing "T" intersection featuring a thick upper vertical segment combined with thin lower and rightward segments. Originating from legacy computing systems, developers and designers still use it today to create retro terminal interfaces, command-line tools, and intricate ASCII art.
