Apps How Dev 3 Line Menu?

[LeftSideRightSide]

Hi, I have most of my app planned, but I'm not sure how to implement the 3 lines menu & then slide the menu in the from the right. I see this in a lot of apps.

Questions:

1. Are the 3 lines a character? And what is its character code in Android?
2. What widget do you suggest using to animate in from the right? I was thinking popup, but this doesn't look quite right to me.

Appreciate the help -- I figure someone will know these answers off the top of their head.

Regards

Please provide links to the apps where this implemented to look at and understand what do you mean.
Thank you.

This is a side navigation drawer. There are plenty of examples on the web. See here to start with:

There's also a template project in Android Studio that gets you off to a good start with the navigation drawer app.

Thanks @LV426 -- this is just what I needed. I'm a java programmer that's fast tracking through a lot of lessons. I appreciate the help with the vocabulary.
