Box Drawings Heavy Up And Left Symbol Meaning
The symbol ┛ is a Unicode box-drawing character (U+251B) named “BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY UP AND LEFT.” It represents a corner that visually connects a vertical line going up with a horizontal line going left. Because it’s a single character, it helps you build borders and panels without relying on monospaced line drawing images.
