Perhaps its name is "right angle symbol"
And kyle, I am fascinated by the name "catets" - it does not occur in English, but some spanish (and portuguese?) websites seem to indicate it means the two sides that are not the hypotenuse - is that right?

My geometry teacher did not know and would give extra credit to anyone who finds out. I have been looking everywhere for its name but its never said. If you know, please tell me what it is!
