Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+252A "" Box Drawings Up Light and Left down Heavy is a graphic symbol within the Box Drawing block, designed for creating text-based diagrams and user interface elements. As its descriptive name implies, the glyph consists of a vertical line stroke that is thin (light) extending upward from a junction, and a horizontal line stroke that is thick (heavy) extending leftward from the same junction, while the downward vertical stroke is also thick (heavy). This specific combination allows for the representation of a corner or branching point in monospace text layouts where line weight variation differentiates the visual hierarchy of connected lines. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard to ensure consistent rendering across different fonts and platforms, preserving the structural integrity of technical drawings and terminal-based applications.
