Box Drawings Down Single And Horizontal Double Symbol Meaning
╤ (Unicode U+2564), named “BOX DRAWINGS DOWN SINGLE AND HORIZONTAL DOUBLE,” represents a junction where a single vertical line continues downward and meets a horizontal double line. In practical text layout work, it helps create borders and intersections that look consistent with other box-drawing characters. You’ll typically use it as a mid-frame connector—such as linking horizontal double rules with vertical borders—when you want a “double horizontal” style across a single row divider. It’s commonly used in monospaced displays: terminal output, ASCII/Unicode UI elements, and documents that rely on fixed-width spacing.

- •Drawing table dividers in monospaced text
