The ╠ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Double Vertical and Right character, represents a double-lined T-intersection pointing rightwards. Originating in early text-based interfaces like MS-DOS, it helped developers build menus, borders, and tables directly within the console. Today, retro computing enthusiasts and developers still use it for ASCII art or rendering clean, structured layouts in command-line tools.
