Box Drawings Heavy Up And Right Symbol Meaning
┗ (Unicode name: BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY UP AND RIGHT, code point U+2517) is a heavy box-drawing corner character. It visually connects a vertical line going up to a horizontal line going right, making it useful for drawing framed layouts, table edges, and grid-like structures in monospace text. Because it’s designed for line continuity, it pairs well with other box-drawing characters to form consistent borders (for example, matching heavy lines). Use it when you need a strong, high-contrast corner that looks aligned in terminal output, Markdown/code blocks, or plain-text UI mockups.
