Unicode Version 17.0
╗
U+2557 "╗" Box Drawings Double down and Left is a graphical glyph used in text based user interfaces and code page art to create borders or frames with a heavy double lined style. It specifically represents the top right corner of a box where a thick double horizontal line meets a thick double vertical line on its right side, extending downward and to the left. This character is part of the Box Drawing block in Unicode, which was derived from older character sets like IBM code page 437, and it is commonly employed in legacy software, terminal applications, and simple diagrams to visually separate sections of text with a clear, structured boundary.
