Meaning & usage
Arc down and right (╭) forms part of a text-based line, frame or shaded block.
Match neighboring pieces and use a monospace font when alignment matters; proportional fonts can break a carefully arranged box.
The arc down and right piece uses a light or patterned stroke. Match that style with adjacent box pieces; U+256D is the exact code to preserve its geometry.
arc down and right occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with ╭ in search, filenames or text processing.
How to type arc down and right
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (256D) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.
- Mac
- Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for arc down and right. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.
- Linux
- In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter 256D, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for arc down and right in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
