Box Drawing Symbols

Summary

This tool provides the complete Unicode box-drawing block (U+2500–U+257F), covering 128 characters used to construct tables, borders, and diagrams in terminals and plain-text documents. Characters are organized by line style so you can quickly find matching corners, edges, and intersections. Click any character to copy it to your clipboard.

How it works

1. All 128 box-drawing characters are loaded from the Unicode block U+2500–U+257F.
2. Use the filter tabs to narrow results by style: single line, double line, dashed, rounded corners, thick/bold, or mixed.
3. Type in the search box to find characters by name (e.g. "corner", "dashed", "vertical").
4. Click any character card to copy the symbol to your clipboard.
5. A confirmation toast confirms each successful copy.
6. The code point (e.g. U+2502) is shown under each character for reference.

Use cases

• Build text-based tables and borders in terminal output.
• Create ASCII-style tree structures and directory listings.
• Draw diagrams and flowcharts in plain-text documentation.
• Style README files and markdown with elegant borders.
• Use in code comments to annotate data-flow or architecture.
• Design TUI (terminal user interface) layouts.
• Format log output with aligned, bordered sections.
• Insert matching corner and edge characters for pixel-perfect boxes.
