The ┦ symbol, officially known as Box Drawing Up Heavy And Left Down Light, is a legacy text character used to construct text-based user interfaces. It forms a right-aligned junction where a thick line from above intersects with a thin line from the left and a thin line continuing downward. Originally popular in DOS and early terminal environments, it is still used today in command-line tools and text art to draw complex tables or modular borders with varying line weights.
