There were a few postings on box drawing with non-ascii characters,
especially those whose font width shown on the screen is different
from its utf-8 encoded character's byte length. (for example, Hangul
is shown as two-ascii-character wide and its utf-8 encoded byte length
is 3, so the boxing is broken)

It looks like solving this problem wouldn't happen quickly. Hence, I'd
like to have a pure J boxdraw verb and modify it as to handle those
special cases(when the character is Korean, treat it like length 2
character, and etc). Do you have a pure J boxdraw verb?
