U2554

U2554, written in Unicode as U+2554, is a code point in the Box Drawings block. Its official name is BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND RIGHT, and it represents the upper-left corner of a double-line box in text mode. The character is typically used to construct framed borders in text user interfaces and diagrams.

Encoding and appearance: The code point is 0x2554 (decimal 9556). When rendered by a font that supports Unicode box-drawing characters, it appears as a double-line corner that connects downward and to the right. It is part of a set of double-line box-drawing characters that include other corners and edges (for example U+2557 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND LEFT, U+255A BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND RIGHT, and U+255D BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND LEFT).

Usage and compatibility: U+2554 is used to create double-lined boxes in terminals, editors, and documentation that rely on Unicode. Rendering depends on font support; some environments may substitute a fallback symbol or omit the glyph if the font lacks these characters. In HTML, the code point can be represented as ╔ or ╔.

Relation to broader context: The Box Drawings block provides a range of single- and double-line characters that enable text-based UI and diagram components without graphics. U+2554 is specifically the top-left corner of a double-line box, and it pairs with other box-drawing characters to form complete borders and boxes.
