U+2528 "┨" Box Drawings Vertical Heavy and Left Light Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2528 “┨” Box Drawings Vertical Heavy and Left Light is a box-drawing glyph designed for creating structured text-based diagrams, tables, or terminal user interfaces. It represents a vertical line that is rendered with a heavy stroke thickness along its right side and a light stroke thickness on its left side, where a horizontal line would connect from that left direction. This allows it to function as a T-shaped junction in grid layouts, helping to distinguish the visual weight of different border sections.
