That's certainly a possibility, it's not working too well. I have to do the alignment manually, and I can't change the line style. Also, it's a bit buggy: putting box-drawers after kanji works fine, but if it's after a kana, it's not selectable, and it has a different width. There are also small gaps between the segments at certain zoom levels.

I think \fill-with-pattern seems somewhat related to what I want, but I'm guessing that one's implemented natively?

P.S. I think you're exaggerating with the encoding details.

Is there some way to make a center-column draw lines from slightly

In this specific case, I have both English and Japanese names for
stuff, and without those lines, I think it's a bit unclear exactly
what part the Japanese refers to.

You could just put Unicode box-drawing characters to either side
of the Japanese characters, eg ━ is BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY HORIZONTAL
but there are various weights, and corners etc in the same region
as this one (Hex code point 2501, Decimal code point 9473,
Hex UTF-8 bytes E2 94 81, Octal UTF-8 bytes 342 224 201,
UTF-8 bytes as Latin-1 characters bytes â <94> <81>
)

Cheers,
David.
