U+2504 "┄" Box Drawings Light Triple Dash Horizontal Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
┄
U+2504 "┄" Box Drawings Light Triple Dash Horizontal is a specific element within the Box Drawing block, designed for creating text-based diagrams and borders using a light, broken line. It consists of three short dashes separated by small gaps, intended to be combined with vertical and other horizontal box-drawing characters to form grid structures where a subtle, dashed separation is desired. This character is typically used in command-line interfaces, legacy terminal applications, and ASCII art to represent a horizontal line that is visually distinct from a solid line, offering a non-intrusive way to indicate a break or division in technical diagrams and tables.
