0x255A

0x255A is the hexadecimal notation for the Unicode code point U+255A, located in the Box Drawings block. The character is named BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND LEFT and is typically rendered as the glyph ╚, a double-line corner that connects upward and to the left. This symbol is used in text-based interfaces and diagrams to create borders, corners, and box-like structures in environments that support Unicode.

Encoding and representation

As a Unicode character, 0x255A can be encoded in UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence E2 95 9A. In UTF-16 it is represented as 0x255A, and in UTF-32 it is 0x0000 255A. Its rendering depends on the font and terminal or application in use; not all fonts or displays may include a complete set of box-drawing glyphs, which can affect appearance.

Usage

0x255A belongs to the box-drawing family and is commonly used to construct user interfaces, text-mode borders, tables, and diagrams in plain text. It is especially useful for creating double-lined corners in ASCII-like art or for drawing structured layouts in console applications, code comments, and documentation where a graphical border is desired without graphical resources.

Related characters include other box-drawing corners and edges in the same Unicode block, such as U+2554 (╔) and U+2557 (╗). These characters enable the composition of more complex boxed shapes in environments that support Unicode rendering.
