U+2524 "┤" Box Drawings Light Vertical and Left Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
┤
U+2524 "┤" Box Drawings Light Vertical and Left is a glyph within the Box Drawing block, designed to form a right border or corner by combining a single light vertical line on its right side with two horizontal arms extending leftward. This character is used in text based interfaces, such as terminal emulators or ASCII art, to represent the intersection where a vertical line on the right meets horizontal lines on the left, effectively creating a T like shape oriented toward the left. It is part of a systematic set of box drawing symbols that allow for the construction of borders, tables, and diagrams using uniform thin lines within monospaced fonts.
