There are no line characters in ASCII. These are semi-graphic
characters of the alternate character set (ACS).

Yes, the console is configured with TERM=linux, and the linux
terminfo do not support the ACS ("tput enacs" fails). This is
probably a bug, since the font contains these characters. A
solution is to use another value for TERM (e.g. xterm) in the
console, but other problems may occur. A better solution is
to modify the linux terminfo (it isn't necessary to be root).
