U+2579 "" Box Drawings Heavy Up Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2579 "" Box Drawings Heavy Up is a graphic character from the Box Drawing block, designed to represent a vertical line segment that extends upward from a heavy (thick) junction point, leaving its lower end open to connect with other box-drawing elements. It is typically used in terminal-based user interfaces, text-based diagrams, and legacy character graphics to form heavy-lined borders or structural frames, particularly where a downward-facing heavy line is not wanted. This character is distinct from its lighter counterparts by its bold stroke, and it pairs with other heavy box-drawing characters like U+2578 "╸" and U+257A "╺" to create elaborate, thick-outlined visual layouts.
