About the box drawings double vertical and horizontal symbol
Terminal emulators and command-line interfaces display this character when software draws double-line tables or charts. It marks the intersection where two double vertical borders cross two double horizontal borders, forming a four-way junction that connects rows and columns with a consistent, unbroken line weight. Part of the box-drawing set inherited from early character-cell displays, it allows plain text to represent structured grids without relying on graphical rendering.
