I suppose this is why whenever I try to display the "256" characters under Linux to find the box drawing characters, I don't see them. Q1) In order to draw such a box, does it mean that I have to look for the box characters at Unicode, encode it to (can't remember exact abbr.) UTF8, then output to screen AT the desired position? Q2) Is it possible for a non-root to change manually (via a program) the 256 "de facto" characters and the Unicode->256 mapping function? (for Linux full text mode) Where do I start looking at?
