Box Drawings Heavy Quadruple Dash Vertical Symbol Meaning
┋ (U+250B) is a Unicode box drawing character named “HEAVY QUADRUPLE DASH VERTICAL.” Visually, it appears as a heavy vertical rule built from repeated dashes, making it stand out more than lighter divider characters. It’s commonly used to organize text where you want a clear boundary without relying on graphics. Because it’s part of the Box Drawing block, it works well in monospaced contexts such as terminal output, ASCII/Unicode art, and simple UI separators. If your font doesn’t support the character, it may fall back to a different glyph or a missing symbol square.
