U+2520 "┠" Box Drawings Vertical Heavy and Right Light Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2520 "┠" Box Drawings Vertical Heavy and Right Light is a graphic symbol used in text-based interfaces and technical diagrams to denote a junction where a heavy vertical line meets a lighter horizontal line extending to the right. Part of the Box Drawing block, this character helps create structured visual layouts such as tables, file system trees, or terminal user interfaces, where varying line weights indicate hierarchy or separation. Its design consists of a thick vertical stroke that stops at the intersection, with a thin, short horizontal line projecting from the right side, forming a T shaped connector that merges two different line thicknesses.
