I only mention this because I've used these to decorate tables in my own notes in the past. It's not really worth the trouble, but I remembered being impressed with how nice these characters looked at the time.
If anyone else wants to try it, paste this into a python REPL:
print("\u250f\u2501\u2513\n\u2503 \u2503\n\u2517\u2501\u251b")
- a1369209993 5y agoYeah, this is purely a issue of poor support for box drawing characters by the font. Eg, I get: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAhAAAABQAQMAAAByCd6PAAAABlBM VEX///8AAABVwtN+AAABc0lEQVRYw+2YwWrEIBCGR5EyhR6k5LCHsvUx9iQ6t30n6dL3LmxnHDdx IadmoUtwAr/5M+OHRIUYgKeLJPKSlnvWBCu21yU8wJQgXuJrVRTFKH3YxdaoxUtXkiYIITAAKyJA Tvm16kn0lANUl1ujVh7PJYzw3s+jCGBSxkXRSB92pjVq5fFcwghEhFIOpQBNnmw6x6ooisaX6gxo oxZtV1ImcM4BEZIH4jr3JZmb4tFTdUdNNYuuKyEAa+2MQEJzxkX5ouqMpprFvoQR/ShYa+amivCK 8A3hK2IuYYS8C0qKcBRMxkXROKrOaKpZ7EsYITMiiPeK4InDRTFLH3ZZU81iX8IIWRclRXqDCFaW z6FqbErawp3FrqTA3Uq1K2phxfYKq4v9r9trxH7i8/qzD8QHXwMxEAMxEAMxEAPxFIjdfF+M2Glc tyO+94CQc+pGhJyWNyLkzL4RIX8ONiLk/8X/j+IB7+IBM/KAdfE8e2TbZv8FgJZ8r2PE1j8AAAAA SUVORK5CYII= Edit: how do I force HN to turn URLs into links? It usually does that automatically. Code-blocked for now.

- Pinus 5y agoIs there a way for a font to "know" at what line spacing it is being rendered?
- rzzzt 5y agoI don't think it is controllable by the font; the only issue I can see if these lines and corners are not extended all the way to each character cell's bounding box.
