The ╨ (Up Double and Horizontal Single) symbol is a box-drawing character originally designed for text-based user interfaces in early computing. It visually represents an intersection where a double vertical line extends upwards from a single horizontal baseline. While mostly replaced by modern graphical interfaces, it remains highly useful in terminal emulators, ASCII art, and command-line utilities for formatting clean, structured tables.
