Could it be improved for better description and readability?
ASCII art is very readable in Usenet.
With Unicode:
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ Component A │ │ Component B │
│ │ │ │
│ ┌───────────┐ │ │ ┌───────────┐ │
│ │ Interface │<>┼──────┼─>│ Interface │ │
│ └───────────┘ │ │ └───────────┘ │
│ │ │ │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
│ │
│ │
│ │
▼ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ Component C │ │ Component D │
│ │ │ │
│ ┌───────────┐ │ │ ┌───────────┐ │
│ │ Interface │<>┼──────┼─>│ Interface │ │
│ └───────────┘ │ │ └───────────┘ │
│ │ │ │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
With plain ASCII:
.----------------. .----------------.
| Component A | | Component B |
| | | |
| .-----------. | | .-----------. |
| | Interface |<+------+->| Interface | |
| '-----------' | | '-----------' |
| | | |
'----------------' '----------------'

v v
.----------------. .----------------.
| Component C | | Component D |
