Thanks for your reply. :)
I effectively found the characters used for utf‐8 output (there are
defined in an array called ‘crossings’) and wrote a little post‐
processor in C (yes, I could write it in another language) to do the
translation. If it can help someone, Here is the source code:
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <wctype.h>
int
main(void)
{
wint_t wc;
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
while ((wc = getwchar()) != WEOF) {
switch (wc) {
case 0x2577: /* ╷ */
case 0x2575: /* ╵ */
case 0x2502: /* │ */
putwchar(L’|’);
break;
case 0x2576: /* ╶ */
case 0x2574: /* ╴ */
case 0x2500: /* ─ */
putwchar(L’‐’);
break;
case 0x250C: /* ┌ */
case 0x2514: /* └ */
case 0x251C: /* ├ */
case 0x2510: /* ┐ */
case 0x2518: /* ┘ */
case 0x2524: /* ┤ */
case 0x252C: /* ┬ */
case 0x2534: /* ┴ */
case 0x253C: /* ┼ */
putwchar(L’+’);
break;
default:
putwchar(wc);
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
