About the box drawings heavy vertical and horizontal symbol

The character known as Box Drawings Heavy Vertical and Horizontal forms a thick cross or plus sign shape, where a heavy vertical line meets a heavy horizontal line at their center. It belongs to the set of box-drawing symbols used to construct borders, frames, and diagrams in text-based interfaces, particularly in legacy computing environments like terminal emulators and early text-mode applications. As a heavy-weight variant, it stands out against lighter box-drawing characters for emphasis or to create thicker visual separations.
