You are correct that there is another problem. Normal display from J uses
special chars (values less than 32) for the box draw chars. JHS converts
these values to the box draw utf8 (2 byte) values to get the proper char
displayed. This is not done within a jhtml display so you will have to do
it.
The upper left corner box draw char has the internal J value of 16. The
utf8 box draw char for this is 226 148.
To display this char with jhtml you need to display char values 226 148
140. To display the upper left corner box draw with jhtml you would do:
jhtml 226 148 140{a.
The user manual section on box draw gives the wchar utf8 values for box
draw chars:
9484 9516 9488 9500 9532 9508 9492 9524 9496 9474 9472
This stuff can be confusing. If this is enough for you to go on, great. If
not, let me know and I can provided more info.
