The ╢ (Box Drawing Vertical Double and Left Single) symbol is a legacy character originally designed for creating text-based user interfaces in early DOS and terminal environments. It features a vertical double line intersecting with a single horizontal line pointing left. Today, it is primarily used in ASCII art, retro gaming aesthetics, and command-line terminal designs to draw structural borders and grids.
