The third part's spacing looks normal, though.

The challenge with making the output look nice there is the outlier
width
of 10, not the Unicode.
As for the horizontal spacers, those are somewhat improved with:
4 2 $ <;._1 ' 5x 2x 10x jx jx kx 3x 9x'
+---+--+
|5x |2x|
+---+--+
|10x|jx|
+---+--+
|jx |kx|
+---+--+
|3x |9x|
+---+--+
vs.
8!:1 ] 4 2 $ <;._1 ' 5x 2x 10x jx jx kx 3x 9x'
+---+--+
|5x |2x|
|10x|jx|
|jx |kx|
|3x |9x|
+---+--+
But the first and last line will still look off for you.
Maybe there's some format string to 8!:2 that'll help.
