U+251F "┟" Box Drawings down Heavy and Right Up Light Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+251F "┟" Box Drawings down Heavy and Right Up Light is a graphic symbol used in text-based interfaces and terminal applications to construct borders, grid lines, or box-like structures, specifically forming a corner junction where a heavy vertical line extending downward meets a light horizontal line moving to the right and a light vertical line moving upward. Part of the Box Drawing block in Unicode, it enables precise visual layout in plain text by combining different line weights, allowing programmers and document designers to create tables, diagrams, or user interface elements without relying on images or complex formatting. Its design distinguishes it from similar characters by the specific asymmetry of heavy and light strokes, making it useful for emphasizing certain borders or breaks in a grid system.
