Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2516 "" Box Drawings Up Heavy and Right Light is a graphical element used primarily in text-based user interfaces, terminal applications, and ASCII art to create borders and frames. It depicts a corner shape where a thick vertical line on the left side meets a thin horizontal line along the top, representing a junction that opens to the top right area of a table or box. This character belongs to the Box Drawing block in the Unicode standard, which provides a set of pseudographic symbols designed for constructing visual layouts without the need for raster graphics. It allows for precise, monospaced rendering of structural diagrams when combined with other heavy and light line characters, though its use has declined with the advent of modern graphical interfaces.
