0x250B

0x250B is a hexadecimal code point in the Unicode standard, assigned to the Box Drawing block. Its corresponding character is located at U+250B and is one of the many characters used to render lines and borders in text-based interfaces. The Box Drawing block provides a range of symbols that allow the construction of frames, tables, and other ASCII-art style visuals in environments that support Unicode.

In terms of encoding, U+250B falls within the Basic Multilingual Plane and is typically encoded in UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence E2 94 8B. Rendering this character depends on the font and the rendering system in use; some environments will display a box-drawing glyph that forms part of a larger frame or corner when combined with other box-drawing characters, while others may substitute a fallback glyph if the font lacks proper support.

Usage and context generally center on text-mode user interfaces, terminal emulators, and programming environments where graphical borders are not available. Characters in this block are commonly used in combination with neighboring box-drawing characters to create outlines, separators, and grid-like structures. Because visual appearance can vary by font, software, and platform, developers often test across environments to ensure consistent rendering.

Related concepts include the broader Unicode Box Drawing block (U+2500 through U+257F) and nearby characters used to compose complete frames and contours. These code points enable lightweight, platform-independent representations of UI elements in plain text.
