What ┓ means
It is the heavy box’s upper-right turn. Its strokes extend left and down; “heavy” describes line weight.
Fixed-cell computer screens used reusable line pieces to draw menus and frames. Before Unicode, box-drawing characters appeared in IBM PC Code Page 437, terminal character sets, and national standards such as Chinese GB 2312 and Korean KS X 1001. These legacy sets were in use prior to 1990; Unicode retained them for compatibility.
