This is the addon mentioned by Danylo...
require 'format/sbox' ] z=: cutopen '€2.56 €72.67 €1287.21' NB. "Euro" signs ┌───────┬────────┬──────────┐ │€2.56│€72.67│€1287.21│ └───────┴────────┴──────────┘ sbox z ┌─────┬──────┬────────┐ │€2.56│€72.67│€1287.21│ └─────┴──────┴────────┘ You'll need to paste it into a "Term" or an IJS window to see it properly. Let me know if sbox doesn't work for you. There's a lab that goes with the 'format/sbox' addon called: "Displaying boxed nouns containing unicode glyphs". I wrote this thing way back in Oct 2012. There's a forum thread: http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2012-October/029641.html comparing June's and my approaches, which are totally different. Basically June extends the original algorithm. I simply get a box layout sans unicode and overlay the unicode back onto it. If I recall, my method must eventually break down if you have too many boxes.
