The ╣ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Double Vertical and Left, is a legacy character originating from early computing eras like the DOS code page 437. It features a vertical double line intersecting with an equally double horizontal line pointing to the left. Today, developers and digital artists use it to construct text-based user interfaces (TUIs), intricate ASCII art, and plain-text tables in terminal environments.
