back in the days of CPM this group was referred to as "box characters", and
each of them were called as follows:
"│": vertical_line, v_line
"├─": left_intersection, l_intersection, left_tee, l_tee
"└─": bottom_left_corner, bl_corner
[...and son on...]
(the names also apply to the combination of lower ascii characters)
