Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2541 "" Box Drawings down Heavy and Up Horizontal Light is a specific glyph within the Box Drawing block, designed for creating text-based diagrams and terminal interfaces. It is composed of a heavy vertical stroke extending downward, combined with a light horizontal stroke extending both left and right from the same junction. This particular weight pairing allows for visual distinction in flowcharts or tables where a downward branch from a vertical line is emphasized with a thicker line, while the connecting horizontal path remains lighter. As part of the broader set of box-drawing symbols, it helps delineate information in monospaced environments without relying on graphical images.
