Specification

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui/#caret-shape

Summary

The shape of the caret in native applications is most commonly a vertical bar, an underscore or a rectangular block. In addition, the shape often varies depending on the input mode, such as insert or replace. The CSS caret-shape property allows sites to choose one of these shapes for the caret inside editable elements, or leave the choice up to the browser. The recognized property values are auto, bar, block and underscore.
