I think those would probably display correctly on the OP's emulator. The 3270 character for a graphics horizontal line is displayed using 2 bytes, the "Graphics Escape" (hex 08) followed by hex A2, and in the Windows-1252 character encoding, hex A2 is a cent sign. The 3270 character for a graphics vertical line is a GE followed by hex 85, and in the Windows-1252 character encoding, hex 85 is an ellipsis, three horizontal dots. So the OP's emulator is probably handling Graphics Escape differently on W10.
