The GNU Coding Standards is a fine reference for this type of thing, and will continue following its recommendations here. It would be possible to allow Unicode compatible locales to specify these characters in the po files, however, I am very much in favour of keeping such interface elements consistent across all locales which requires sticking to whatever restrictions are placed on the C locale. It is very difficult to keep bugs out of the interface when localizations impact the interface layout as well as content. Do you have any complaint with the current drawing of tree nodes, other than “its not the precise unicode graphing characters”?
