The ╩ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Double Up and Horizontal character, is a legacy text graphic originally used in early terminal environments and DOS systems. It represents a bottom-edge T-junction, connecting a horizontal double line to a vertical double line extending upwards. Today, it remains popular in ASCII art, retro-style text interfaces, and terminal emulators for designing tables and rigid UI borders.
