The ╪ symbol, formally known as the Box Drawing Vertical Single and Horizontal Double character, is a text-based graphic originally used in early terminal environments. It represents a precise intersection where a single vertical line crosses a double horizontal line. Today, it remains widely used by developers and ASCII artists to build clean, text-based tables, grid layouts, and command-line interfaces.
