Comment #1 on issue 2637 by asmeurer: Unicode Sigma for pretty printed Sum
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2637

I can't find a decent looking replacement for ). There don't seem to be any tall > characters in unicode, unless I missed them.

Therefore, I recommend using only an even number of lines, like

  ___
  ╲
   ╲
   ╱
  ╱
  ‾‾‾

The question is, what line should the equation go on?  What looks better

   n
  ___
  ╲
   ╲  f(k)
   ╱
  ╱
  ‾‾‾
 k = 1

or

   n
  ___
  ╲
   ╲
   ╱  f(k)
  ╱
  ‾‾‾
 k = 1

?

There doesn't seem to be good , and ` replacements (other than ⎲ and ⎳), so I say just leave them off.

By the way, I asked on StackOverflow about characters like ⎳ that take up more than one cell in Mac OS X's Terminal (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7086856/programmatically-tell-if-a-unicode-character-takes-up-more-than-on-character-spac). We'll see if anything useful comes out of it.
