In i-output.boot we have definitions of Unicode box characters.
One would have to check if they are activated somewhere or not.

I introduced the setting because some lisps throwed errors on
non-ASCII codes.  The exact behaviour depends on underlying Lisp,
for example GCL tends to ignore errors.

Without deeper investigation I can not say what is situation now.
But certainly any change would require testing.  In particular
all supported Lisps and various locale settings during build.
