I printed on the vt(4) console "──┤ Test ├── ↑ ↓" and it renders as
expected, no gaps or missing characters.

Are you using VGA textmode or graphics mode? Do you have a standalone
reproducer?

Bug ID: 221772
   Summary: vt(4) lacks (some?) semi-graphics, causing visible
regression to the curses apps
   Product: Base System
   Version: CURRENT
  Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Some People
  Priority: ---
 Component: kern
  Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
  Reporter: sobo...@freebsd.org

 Flags: mfc-stable9-, mfc-stable10-

Current look with vt(4) + xterm

With the vt(4) only supporting xterm emulation, we are observing some
regressions of the console-based ncurses UI that we have to provision the
system for the last 12 years. As such I am curious if there is a way to get the
missing elements back with some terminfo / ncurses magic and if not is there
any plans to fix those at some point? With the overall direction of obsoleting
syscons(4) in favour of vt(4), it's really sad something that has been
flawlessly worked for the last two decades regressing just like that.
