Box-drawing characters

[Kuzco]

Hi there.
Do anyone know how to use box-drawing characters in console applications?

I use Visual Studio 2008 if it matters :)

for(int i=32; i<255; ++i)
{
   cout << i << "  " << (char)i << endl;
   if( i%20 == 0) cin.get();
}

Is it impossible to just type it into the IDE by changing the encoding or something?

[melkiy]

Yes you can. Use 'charmap' windows utility, copy characters from it and past them to your program code.

Or you may use code points like putchar(210);
