Box Drawings Vertical Single And Left Double Symbol Meaning
The character ╡ (Unicode U+2561) is part of the Box Drawing block: “BOX DRAWINGS VERTICAL SINGLE AND LEFT DOUBLE.” It represents a vertical line segment that has a double-line connection on its left side. In practice, it’s useful when you want borders that visually continue from a left-side double border into a vertical run.
