Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2523 "" Box Drawings Heavy Vertical and Right is a graphical symbol belonging to the Box Drawing block, specifically designed for creating simple line-based diagrams, tables, and text-based user interfaces. This particular glyph combines a heavy vertical line on its left side with a heavy horizontal line extending to the right, forming a T-shaped junction where the vertical stem meets the rightward branch. It is commonly used in legacy computing environments, terminal emulators, and plain text formatting to represent the intersection of a thick vertical border with a thick horizontal border that continues only to the right. As part of the larger set of box-drawing characters, "┣" helps construct structured visual layouts where the weight of the lines indicates thickness or emphasis, making it a practical tool for retro-style graphical representations and code comments.
