The ╏ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Heavy Double Dash Vertical, is a thick, broken vertical line originally designed for text-based computing interfaces. While mostly a relic of early terminal graphics, it remains popular today for creating retro ASCII art, formatting plain-text tables, and building command-line layouts. Its bold, dashed appearance makes it perfect for indicating strong structural breaks in text grids.
