It looks like no one has mentioned box-drawing characters yet, theylook good, are supported as part of UTF-8, and I suspect they'd beeasy to parse.```┌──────┬───────┐│ Text │ goes │├──────┼───────┤│ in │ these │└──────┴───────┘```There are other styles that would need to be accounted for, like```┏━━━━━━┓┃ Bold ┃┗━━━━━━┛```or```╔════════╗║ Double ║╚════════╝```borders.
