Good evening, everyone on Fedi.
Unlike us in Japan, I imagine most of you usually communicate using ASCII characters. We, on the other hand, use double-byte characters. The double-byte character set includes characters that allow us to draw table borders with text instead of images.┸ ┤ ┯ ╋ └ ╂ ┴ ┝ ┃ ┰ ┻ ┥ ┣ ├ ┿ ┐ ┫
At a rough count, there are at least this many line-drawing characters included in the double-byte set.
So, I have a question for all of you: when you write out a tree structure, like a directory map, in plain text, what characters do you use to draw the lines? -

Turbo Pascal and other DOS apps of the time used them to create text mode windows and the like!
I believe for things like tree structures the most common thing over in the west has always been using things like | and -, which is quite unpleasant...

@Uilebheist@polyglot.city l'altro giorno m'è capitato di dover andare in un negozio di cose per la casa, alla cassa c'erano tre piccoli cani che facevano casino, un'umana molto piccola che strillava a ripetizione "la zia è brutta, la zia è molto brutta" e quando alla fine stava per arrivare il mio turno s'è bloccato tutto perché la signora prima di me aveva una scatola di qualcosa a cui mancava il codice a barre.
Che brutta roba i supermercati e affini.

In 1873, the USA introduced the Comstock laws, thus rendering it illegal to advertise and sell contraceptives in the country. While these laws were incredibly damaging on the whole, we have to kind of agree in this one (1) instance of wholly cursed contraceptives.
