The ┾ symbol (Box Drawing Right Heavy and Left Vertical Light) is a legacy computing character used to build grids, borders, and tables in text-based interfaces. It forms a four-way cross intersection where the right-facing arm is thick, while the left, top, and bottom arms remain uniformly thin. Though originally designed for MS-DOS and early terminal screens, it remains popular today in retro ANSI art, structural ASCII diagrams, and command-line formatting.
