Source: Browser Default
U+2540 "╀" Box Drawings Up Heavy and down Horizontal Light is a special typographic symbol used in technical diagrams and text-based interfaces to represent the right-angled intersection of a thick vertical line moving upward with a thin horizontal line passing to its left and right. This character is part of the Box Drawing block, which provides a set of pseudographic symbols for creating simple line art and borders in monospaced fonts. Its specific design combines heavy weight in the upward stroke with light weight in the horizontal bar, allowing it to convey clear visual hierarchy in technical drawings or plain text formatting.
