The ┥ symbol, officially named "Box Drawing Vertical Light and Left Heavy," is a structural text character from the Unicode Box Drawing block. Originally designed for early computer terminals and MS-DOS to draw graphical user interfaces in plain text, it depicts a thin vertical line joined by a thick horizontal line pointing left. Modern developers and ASCII artists still use it to design text-based tables, terminal user interfaces (TUIs), and intricate text graphics.
