How to use line symbols
Every line here is a real Unicode character, so it stays a line wherever text goes — a Discord message, a bio, a document, a spreadsheet cell. The single characters are building blocks: a vertical │ to split a name, a heavy ━ or a double ═ to underline a heading, corners ┌ ┐ └ ┘ to draw a box. If you just need a line, take one of the long lines: the same character repeated 10, 20 or 30 times, copied in one tap.
The keyboard is where lines go wrong. The | key gives a pipe, a narrow ASCII character that many fonts draw short and with a break in the middle; │ is the box-drawing vertical, which runs the full height of the line and meets the corners. In the same way, a row of hyphens or dashes leaves gaps, because those are punctuation, while ─ and ━ are drawn to touch end to end, so a row of them reads as one unbroken line.
Two things decide how a pasted line looks. The font: box-drawing lines join seamlessly in monospaced text — code blocks, Notepad, Discord code formatting — and can show hairline gaps elsewhere. And the width: on a phone a line wider than the screen wraps onto a second row, so in a bio or a caption the 10- and 20-character lines are the safe choice. Fancier separators made of hearts, stars and bows are on the text dividers page.
Questions
How do I type a vertical line?
On most keyboards it is Shift and the backslash key, which gives the pipe |. For a taller, unbroken line that meets the box corners, copy │ from this page; ┃ is the heavy version and ║ the double one. On a phone, | is usually on the second page of symbols.
How do I make a long straight line?
Copy one of the ready long lines above: thin ─, heavy ━, double ═, dashed ┄ or dotted ┈, each in 10, 20 and 30 characters. In Word, typing three hyphens and pressing Enter also draws a line, but that is a paragraph border, not text, and it disappears when you paste the paragraph anywhere else.
Why does my line have gaps?
The font draws each character with a little space around it. Box-drawing lines are designed to touch, and in monospaced fonts they do; in other fonts some apps leave a hairline between them. If a line must look solid, ━ and ═ hide the gaps best — and the dashed ┄ and dotted ┈ are meant to have them.
Can I use these lines in Discord, Instagram and TikTok?
Yes, they are plain text. Discord keeps them exactly as pasted. In a bio every character counts toward the limit — 80 on TikTok, 150 on Instagram — so a 30-character line eats a good part of it, and anything wider than the screen wraps.
Why does a line show up as an empty box?
The font on that device has no glyph for it. The common lines — │ ─ ━ ═ and the corners — are in almost every font; ⼁ and the stacked lines like ☰ are not. Anything your device cannot draw is hidden from this page automatically, so what you see here is safe to copy.
