Box Drawings Up Single and Horizontal Double

Box Drawings Up Single and Horizontal Double at U+2567 is a line-drawing symbol that joins one thin vertical stroke rising upward to a double horizontal rule. It belongs to the Box Drawing block, a set of characters made for constructing text-mode frames, tables, menus, and diagrams with aligned monospace glyphs. Its most common use is in terminal and plain-text interfaces that draw bordered panels without graphics, especially older DOS-style screens, console utilities, bulletin board systems, and text user interfaces. In a table, it can mark a junction where a single-weight internal vertical divider meets a heavier double-line top or bottom border, preserving a clear visual hierarchy between sections. It also appears in technical documentation, README diagrams, roguelike maps, and other monospaced artwork where authors want durable layout in plain text. The character is easy to confuse visually with neighboring box-drawing junctions that swap single and double strokes, so exact selection matters when a diagram’s line weights must connect cleanly.
