What Are Corner Symbols?
A corner symbol is a Unicode text character that is commonly used as a corner piece when constructing a border or frame in plain text. Corner symbols are often paired with horizontal and vertical line characters to form boxes, tables, separators, and framed callouts. Common corner characters include └ ┐ ┌ ┘ and their thick, double-line, or curved variants.
