    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?

    @kotaro Those line drawing characters are actually present in ANSI (and therefore UTF-8) too! 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...

    also = or > can be useful.
