The ╟ symbol is a box drawing character featuring a vertical double line intersecting with a horizontal single line extending to the right. Originating from early text-based computing environments like DOS, it was essential for building structured user interfaces, menus, and tables in terminal applications. Today, developers and ASCII artists continue to use it for designing retro-style grids, file tree structures, and decorative plain-text borders.
