What ┌ is for

The top left corner of a box, turning down and to the right. Pair it with ┐ across the top and ─ between them to start any framed block.

How to type ┌

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :box_top_left: in any text field instead, which is the same on every platform.

macOS

No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type 250C with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 250C then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
