Unicode Version 17.0
╊
U+254A "╊" Box Drawings Left Light and Right Vertical Heavy is part of the Box Drawing block and represents a visual connector for creating diagrams, tables, or text-based graphics. Specifically, this character combines a light vertical line on its left side with a heavy vertical line on its right side, meeting at a central junction. It is typically used to form the boundary between cells or sections where a single-weight left edge transitions into a double-weight or heavier right edge, enabling precise control over line thickness in monospaced text environments like old terminal interfaces, ASCII art, or simple structured documents.
