Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2505 "" Box Drawings Heavy Triple Dash Horizontal is a graphic symbol used in text-based user interfaces, terminal applications, and plain text diagrams to represent a horizontal line composed of three repeating thick dashes, distinguishing itself from a continuous solid line by its segmented appearance. As part of the Box Drawing block in Unicode, this character enables the construction of heavy, dashed borders or separators in monospaced environments, often employed in legacy computing contexts, technical documentation, or ASCII art to create structured layouts without relying on graphical rendering. Its triple dash pattern provides a visual alternative to single or double lines, offering a medium weight and rhythmic break that aids in organizing information in a clear, non-intrusive manner.
