U+250A "┊" Box Drawings Light Quadruple Dash Vertical Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+250A "┊" Box Drawings Light Quadruple Dash Vertical is a vertical line composed of four evenly spaced light dashes, used primarily in text-based graphical interfaces to create broken or dotted vertical borders within box-drawing diagrams. It belongs to the Box Drawing block in Unicode, which provides a set of characters for forming simple frames and grids using terminal or monospaced fonts. This specific character offers a lighter, interrupted visual line compared to solid vertical lines, making it useful for separating columns or indicating faint divisions without fully blocking the view of adjacent content. Its design ensures that when combined with other box-drawing characters, it can maintain alignment in technical documentation, flowcharts, or ASCII art.
