What means
It is one stroke in a character-cell drawing. A character cell is the square slot each symbol occupies on a text terminal. marks its top and upper-left edges, so its line only works beside compatible pieces.
Home computers and teletext—a TV service for sending pages of text and simple graphics—used cell-sized designs in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2021, Unicode proposed legacy characters like this to preserve text exchange with old machines, emulators and text-mode software.
