Box Drawings Vertical Single and Right Double

Box Drawings Vertical Single and Right Double at U+255E is a line-drawing junction used to join a single vertical stroke with a double horizontal stroke extending to the right. It sits in the Box Drawing block, whose characters were designed for text-mode tables, frames, and diagrams made entirely from monospaced characters. Its main use is in terminal-style interfaces, plain-text mockups, console reports, and legacy DOS or bulletin-board layouts. In a table, it can mark the left edge of a row divider where a single outer border continues vertically while a double rule begins across the row, such as in a menu frame or status panel with heavier internal separation. It also appears in documentation that preserves old text user interfaces, screenshots converted to text, or code comments containing box-art diagrams. The character only lines up cleanly in monospaced fonts with matching box-drawing metrics; in proportional fonts or mixed styles, the junction may look slightly broken or fail to meet neighboring lines.
