Whoa, sweet Dwarf Fortress graphics pack ;)

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.

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

There is a proposal to add some of the old missing box drawing characters to Unicode, in a section called "Graphics for Legacy Computing":

They have been implemented recently in the Pragmata Pro font I use, which seems to just keep adding glyphs

Unicode still contains a large number of box drawing characters. Some are broken into three, or even four parts.

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