The ╓ (Box Drawing Down Double and Right Single) symbol is a text-based graphical character used to form the top-left corner of a box or table. Originating from legacy computing environments like MS-DOS, it features a double-lined vertical stroke intersecting with a single-lined horizontal stroke. Today, developers and digital artists use it to format plain text documents, build text-based user interfaces (TUIs), and construct intricate ASCII art.
