I am looking for some guidance about how to best utilize box drawing characters(using unicode?) in as portable a way as possible in Python. Any good guides out there for this? <br>

However, I do want them to be portable to most platforms that Python will run on. I have actually found much more information on designing fully graphical GUI interfaces using Tk or Qt or GTK, but I know the other type is possible. I suppose I have a preference for the older console type programs.<br>
