Just out of curiosity, is this issue about supporting box drawing characters as input or as some sort of rendered output?
I would personally be happy if we could use them as input, as an alternative to the current 7-bit clean |

Yeah, the goal is to properly recognise all the various box drawing characters as input. Some are already recognised, but nothing comprehensive.
Here is a test vector, that would be useful if it could be transformed safely by aasvg:
╭────────────╮ ╭────────────╮
│ │ P:Y │ │
│ ╞══════════════════════════▶│ │
│ Cert X │ │ Cert Y │
│ │ F:X │ │
│ │◁──────────────────────────┤ │
╰────────┬───╯ ╰────────╥───╯
▲ │ F:Z △ ║ P:Z
║ │ ╭────────────╮ │ ║
║ │ │ │ F:Y │ ║
║ └─────────▷│ ├──────────┘ ║
║ │ Cert Z │ ║
║ P:X │ │ ║
╚════════════════╡ │◀═══════════════╝
╰────────────╯
There is some limited support for these in the tool, but that support needs a fair bit of work. Do that work.
