  That was in the 80s and had a large number of box drawing characters.

    Unicode still contains a large number of box drawing characters. Some are broken into three, or even four parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character

    There is a proposal to add some of the old missing box drawing characters to Unicode, in a section called "Graphics for Legacy Computing": http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17435r-terminals-prop.pdf http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17435r-terminals-prop.pdf They have been implemented recently in the Pragmata Pro font I use, which seems to just keep adding glyphs https://www.fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ https://www.fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/

    Fun fact: DF contains a CP437-to-Unicode mapping function, to let the text-mode output work on modern terminals. It's still all CP437 internally.

  I remember copying a random maze generator from a magazine that used a lot of these on a C64, fun times!
