Box Drawing Unicode Characters
The Box Drawing Unicode block, ranging from U+2500 to U+257F, contains characters used to create lines, borders, corners, and grids in monospaced text environments. These symbols originated in early computing and terminal systems, where they were used to build user interfaces, tables, and diagrams using simple character-based graphics.
Despite modern graphical interfaces, box drawing characters are still widely used in command-line applications, ASCII art, markdown tables, and console-based UI frameworks.
