Boxing requires going through additional code that lines up the box
boundaries. Unboxed strings are just copied to the output. Invalid
combinations are handled differently in the two cases (unplanned).
Character-width idiosyncrasies guarantee that no solution will work for
every case.

Of course you are right Henry, but should boxing change the display of those
unexpected combinations? It does not in j701.

The UTF-8 is invalid in the second row.
Also, the glyph seems to be 3 spaces wide, which the formatting does not expect.

I noticed something odd in J901 and J806 that does not seem to be happening in
J702. There seems to be some extra level of decoding that is going on when a
literal is boxed.
Here are the examples. They are in the JHS environment, but the results are the
same for j901 and j807 in the jqt environment. The result that I would expect
is the one shown in j701.
