Hey Skip,
I don't think such a creature can be created in a meaningful way with J because
it would have a combination of different types in the same array. In your
example it looks like you would have integers in the first row and then a box
in the second row and that can't happen.
As Raul points out you can create that 'picture' using characters if you want,
but it can't really exist in J.

Or as a variation on Raul's integer version, you could do this with characters.
,.' 0 1 ';<,.' 2 3';<<'4 5'
