Box drawing characters

Box drawing characters are widely used in text user interfaces to draw various frames and boxes. In graphical user interfaces these characters are useless, because it is much simpler to draw lines and rectangles directly with graphical APIs; besides, box drawing characters work only with fixed-width fonts.

In all MS-DOS codepages box drawing characters are present, but their number is limited to 40:
|
||
|
||
낫독렇뭔뻤슭오좌쳐탬픽<EFBFBD>盖誥國喫戇倆厘描
|
||
|
||
or even to 22:
|
||
|
||
낫뭔뻤오좌쳐탯<EFBFBD>盖誥描
|
||
|
||
And for Unix programs, usually only 11 basic characters are available:
|
||
|
||
낫오좌쳐텐<EFBFBD>
|
||
|
||
or, on some terminals, they are not available at all, so they are replaced with such ASCII characters as '-', '|' and '+'.
