The ┮ (Box Drawing Right Heavy and Left Down Light) symbol is a text-based graphical character used to create borders, tables, and structured layouts in terminal interfaces. Originating from legacy computing environments, it forms a downward-facing T-intersection where the right-extending line is thick, while the left and downward lines are thin. Today, it remains popular in ASCII art, command-line application design, and plain-text documentation.
