Box Drawings Double Up And Right Symbol Meaning
╚ (Unicode U+255A) is a box drawing character that draws a corner with double lines, connecting a vertical segment going upward to a horizontal segment going to the right. In practice, it’s typically used for the “upper-left” corner of a double-line rectangle, depending on how you orient your box. Designers and developers use it to create consistent, monospaced borders in text UIs, README files, logs, and lightweight diagrams. Because it’s intended for box layouts, its value is strongest when paired with other box drawing characters that match the same “double” style.

What corner does ╚ represent in box layouts?
╚ is a double-line corner that connects an upward vertical segment to a rightward horizontal segment. In many rectangle layouts, that corresponds to the upper-left corner (depending on your drawing orientation).
How do I copy ╚ from this page?
Select and copy the character shown as ╚, or copy one of the provided encodings like U+255A or ╚.
Will ╚ display correctly in terminals and monospaced text?
It should display correctly anywhere that supports Unicode box drawing characters and uses a font with the box drawing glyphs (often monospaced fonts).
What’s the difference between ╚ and └?
They’re both corner characters, but ╚ is from the double-line box drawing set (U+255A), while └ is typically a single-line variant in the box drawing block. Use the one that matches the style of your border set.
