U+251E "┞" Box Drawings Up Heavy and Right down Light Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+251E "┞" Box Drawings Up Heavy and Right down Light is a graphical symbol used in the Box Drawing block, designed for creating text-based diagrams and borders. It specifically represents a corner or intersection where a heavy vertical line extends upward from the junction, while a light horizontal line proceeds to the right and a light vertical line descends downward. This allows for mixing different line weights in a single character, enabling more nuanced and visually distinct box structures in terminal interfaces, plain text tables, or technical documentation. Its design follows a consistent grid pattern where characters are built from combinations of heavy and light line segments at cardinal directions.
