Well I don't know about Unicode box/line drawing characters but I've always found that applications that expect to use the line drawing characters (such as mc) only work if you set TERM to "rxvt-cygwin" instead of the default "rxvt". I do find it a bit frustrating that I can't just use "rxvt-cygwin" as my default term, because apparently its terminfo isn't fully fleshed out or something. Programs like 'less' complain of a "not fully functional" terminal and don't work right if I do that. So I just alias mc to "TERM=rxvt-cygwin mc", which is not a very pretty solution. I'd love to know why one or the other terminal setting can't just work for everything.
