The ╉ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Heavy Vertical and Light Right, is a legacy computing character used to build text-based user interfaces. It features a thick vertical line intersecting with a thin horizontal line pointing to the right. Originally essential for drawing menus and grids in command-line environments like MS-DOS, developers and artists now use it to craft intricate ASCII art and structure terminal outputs.
