Box Drawing Corner

╖ is a box-drawing corner that joins a single horizontal stroke to a double vertical one. A blank or crooked text border usually points to the font or terminal settings.

Text symbol

What ╖ means

It joins a single horizontal line to a double vertical one.

Text tables and terminal borders use this mixed-weight corner. Fixed-width character cells let adjacent line pieces meet as a continuous frame.

Older text-only terminals used line pieces for menus and tables. Unicode's set gathers legacy forms from IBM PC Code Page 437, Chinese GB 2312 and Korean KS X 1001 character standards, and Videotex information systems.

Why is the corner blank or uneven?

Check the font and terminal settings.

As of 2026, a terminal font or character-set mismatch can leave ╖ blank, show a missing-glyph box, or break the join. Check the full border for matching cell widths.

Questions people ask

Why does ╖ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
