U+2506 "┆" Box Drawings Light Triple Dash Vertical Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
┆
U+2506 "┆" Box Drawings Light Triple Dash Vertical is a graphical element from the Box Drawing block, designed to represent a vertical line composed of three short, spaced dashes rather than a continuous solid stroke. Its purpose is to allow for the creation of dashed vertical borders in text-based user interfaces, diagrams, and plain text tables, particularly when a lighter visual separation is desired without the heaviness of a full line. As part of the box drawing set, it can be combined with other single, double, or dashed line characters to form complex grids and boxes in monospaced environments like terminals and legacy computing systems.
