   So Linux terminals, or most of them anyway, render ANSI escape sequences very   
   well. What you're talking about are the IBM CP437 characters used for BBS   
   "graphics" back in the day. Most Linux terminals assume/use UTF-8 text   
   encoding by default, so those "high characters" indicate something other than   
   the CP437 characters of MS-DOS days. You can either change the locale/LANG of   
   the terminal to something other than UTF-8 or (better yet) use tools that   
   convert CP437 to UTF-8 when reading/displaying legacy BBS display files ("ansi   
   art").   
      
   The "ansi" part isn't the problem.
