Source: Browser Default
U+23BA "⎺" Horizontal Scan Line-1 is a typographic symbol used primarily in technical and screen display contexts, particularly as part of a set of horizontal scan line characters. It appears as a short, thin horizontal bar, and its design is intended to represent the first of several lines in a raster pattern, often employed in terminal emulators, character graphics, or old computer system interfaces to create visual effects or simulate scan lines. This character is part of the Unicode Miscellaneous Technical block and serves a niche but specific role in representing low resolution display artifacts or timing marks.
