Box drawings light horizontal

The workhorse horizontal rule of terminal interfaces: table borders, tree branches (├─) and dividers in CLI output. Align it with other box-drawing characters only in a monospace font. Do not confuse it with the em dash — (U+2014) or the minus sign − (U+2212); this one is designed to connect edge-to-edge with zero gaps.
