Talk:Box drawing characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] The image

How come the image, which supposedly is able to show the characters properly even if the browser can't, doesn't show any difference between the thick and the thin versions of the characters? 136.163.203.3 10:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Here's a better screenshot:

Unicode_Box_Drawing_(2500-257F)_Revised.gif is a screenshot I took to show how it should look. I think the font being used is DejaVu Sans Mono. I'll try to figure out how to put the image on the page, but I'm pretty new here... Notostraca 19:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Still not satisfactory for showing the box drawing characters, because of lack of spacing (example: Row 2540. Where does each character start and end?). I’ve created a new image to replace it. --Shlomi Tal 10:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sinclair stuff

Should things like the ZX81/Sinclair pseudographics be mentioned here (e.g., for the dithering patterns in the character set)? --BACbKA 22:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

also, what about characters like ▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ (unicode 0x2581 to 0x2588) ?--TiagoTiago 20:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
They're called Block Elements. Added. EdC (talk) 02:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
