Unicode Version 17.0
╔
U+2554 "╔" Box Drawings Double down and Right is a graphic symbol used in text based user interfaces and early computer art to create the top left corner of a box with a thick double line border. It forms part of the Box Drawing block, a set of characters designed to allow for the construction of simple rectangular borders and grids within a monospaced font environment. This particular glyph is composed of a double horizontal line extending to the right from its origin and a double vertical line extending downward, seamlessly joining at a right angle. Its primary function is to serve as a junction piece, specifically the starting point for drawing the upper left corner of a double lined box or frame in plain text.
