The ╡ symbol, officially known as Box Drawing Vertical Single and Left Double, is a typographic character used to create text-based borders and tables. Originating from legacy computing environments like MS-DOS, it connects a single vertical line to a double horizontal line extending to the left. Today, developers and digital artists still use it in terminal emulators, command-line interfaces, and ASCII art to design clean, retro-style structural layouts.
