   Not a lot of conversation in LINUX, so since I was speaking directly to   
   Maurice, I wrote it here instead. *shrug*   
      
   But if another conversation starts because of your cross-post, then you   
   accomplished something! ;)

   That's the same way I'm going about it. Remote console via putty with tmux on   
   my RPi3.

   Line drawing characters display fine in X (xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole,   
   etc), but ever since I went strictly UTF-8 it wouldn't display them properly   
   in a TTY until I started using tmux.   
      
   As for the character marking the current message, you're referring to the   
   actual arrow and not ">", right? That changed here as well.   
      
   And by CTRL-Z I'm guessing you're referring to the internal golded editor? I   
   don't use that here, so CTRL-X in nano or :x in vim. ;)

   Yes. And if you used an unicode capable editor you would know that! ;)
