Just FYI, not an answer. It works like a charm on linux (ubuntu, fc3, python 2.4.1 & 2.5.2) Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 13:36:32) [GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print u'\u2500' ─ >>> print u'\u2501' ━ >>> print u'\u2502' │ >>> print u'\u2503' ┃ >>> >>> print u'\u2504' ┄ on windows using python 2.4. ??? -N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
