The ╞ symbol, officially known as the Box Drawing Vertical Single and Right Double, is a legacy computing character used to build text-based user interfaces. It features a solid vertical line joined by a double horizontal line pointing to the right. While originally designed for early terminal environments and MS-DOS to draw tables and window borders, it remains popular today in ASCII art, command-line utilities, and text-formatting scripts.
